Implement Minimum Induced Loss method for propeller #220

Open florentLutz opened 7 months ago

florentLutz commented 7 months ago

This method allows to describe the geometry of a propeller that would minimize losses on some given points based on a reduced number of data. Mainly, that allows to be able to describe the propeller with only a few parameters: rpm, nb of blades and power. This would allow us to not use the details propeller gometry which is currently required
