Advancements in technology for large aircraft have led to the development of new materials for aviation. Traditional alloy-based components in aircraft, once prevalent, are now being replaced by composite materials that offer superior performance in terms of strength and operational limits. Notably, propellers have evolved from wood to composite materials, finding application in contemporary small aircraft. In this context, there is a need for research on the composite propellers of the 3-blade "W Company," based on the widely used Rotax 914 engine in South Korea. This study aims to investigate the changes in noise and thrust corresponding to variations in propeller blade angles and engine RPM, with the goal of selecting the optimal propeller pitch angle. Particularly, the "W Company's" propellers are durable and cost-effective, widely adopted in domestic aircraft. The research seeks to propose an effective method to minimize noise while maintaining the necessary thrust, contributing to the smooth operation of aircraft and promoting coexistence with local communities.
