A blade-tip flow isolator that can be used on a propeller, rotor, or wind turbine is provided. The blade-tip flow isolator integrates with the blade at the outer radius and shields the blade-tip boundary layer, reducing blade-tip vortices. A twist along the blade-tip chord further reduces or eliminates the blade-tip vortices that inherently occur on the exposed blade tips during normal operations. Efficiency and performance are improved while noise and acoustic levels are reduced.
