Abstract: The present disclosure provides a rotating propeller design that maintains a high efficiency and reduces noise. The design provides an unloaded tip zone of positive lift starting prior to an end of the tip with negligible, if any, positive lift that is counterintuitive to the purpose of a propeller. The unloaded tip zone decreases the strength of a tip vortex and reduces induced drag. The result is a significant reduction in noise while maintaining substantially high mechanical efficiency, even with an optional increase in RPM to compensate for the reduced lift without requiring a longer propeller. At least one propeller design can break the beta angle from the propeller hub with a different beta angle at a first location from the hub and then also break the beta angle at a second location further from the hub into the unloaded tip zone to form a double break propeller.
