Hey everyone, I am looking for either a resource or an answer to my question. Does anyone know of a way to gleam a NACA airfoil off of a 1A170E-JHA7660 propeller? I am trying to make a model of the prop in Solidworks for my Design Project. I know the 1A170 family of props is old as dirt and I know that the application (Cessna 172S Skyhawk) is literally the Toyota Camry of the skies; shockingly no one has studied much of anything on the specific airfoil used in the prop.

Hmmmm. Sounds like a good question for McCauley, the folks who actually make the propeller.

Are there any of those aircraft at your local community airport? If so, you could probably ask permission from the airport and the plane owner to make measurements on the prop.
