Barit1 and bekolblockage,

Very interesting - I was always under the impression that a graph of 'number of blades/efficiency' would result in a rise, peaking at around four blades, then falling again. Could you explain (or point me in the direction of somewhere that will) very briefly the theory behind the high single blade efficiency?

Kind regards, Jack.
