A propeller system combines innovative strategies to create a new methodology to reduce propeller or rotor noise. The propeller is specifically aimed for ultra-quiet electrically powered aircraft for use in high proximity aviation, but its low-noise advantages will extend to other purposes. The propeller blade includes geometries, along with size and operational limitations that minimize rotational and vortex noise, vibration and span-wise air flow on the blade. To further reduce noise, the propeller provides greater relative thrust on the inboard portions of the blade than do conventional propellers and provides less than conventional relative thrust including negative thrust at the outermost portions of the blade. The propeller blade includes stepped changes in shape at calculated intervals that can reduce resonant blade vibrations and their resultant noise. This ultra-quiet propeller design can also be used for quieting hovercraft, drones, surveillance aircraft, indoor fans, wind tunnels and other applications.
