Toroidal propeller designs

This new toroidal propeller designs - initially from MIT - are quite interesting. Have you printed some and had a go yet? Are they any good?

That’s some cool tech! I’m really excited to give it a try. The fact that toroidal props work better at both high and low speeds compared to traditional ones is mind-blowing. Double performance? Yes please!

Interesting design / concept!

They’re also way quieter which should keep some people much happier

I’m wondering if they’re safer too?

EG would you cut your finger on one?

Has anyone printed one of these? I’ve just ordered a Bambu Lab A1 printer for a completely different project; I’ve never flown a UAV, but I think it would be very satisfying to print both a quad and a fixed wing…
