ABSTRACT
The paper presents preliminary results of experimental research on the variable geometry of a ducted propeller. The purpose of this work is explore the area of application of the ducted propellers of variable geometry. The paper contains the description of a test station and a model, initial tests’ results of some selected geometries intakes and exit vents in comparison with an open propeller.
