wind power propellers
wind power propellers
(OP)
I've recently been researching propellers for wind generators. I've noticed that some props have a curved surface much like an airplane propeller while others use flat blades.
It seems as though the flat blades would be cheaper and better able to deal with high winds.
Does anyone know what the advantages of the airfoil type are?
Any input would be appreciated.

U can find lots of useful information on http://isoar.ca/~andrewm/rc/airfoils/
U will find AUTOCAD DXF files there as well.
I would be happy if anyone will share his experience in this field.
