In this paper, we propose a numerical analysis method of propeller aerodynamic characteristics on whirling arm experiment. The validity of the calculated characteristics are evaluated by verifying the consistency with the results from the wind tunnel experiment. Through results, it is verified that the propeller characteristics at the low advance ratio can be analyzed by using the whirling arm.
