This repository contains trained machine learning models and the synthetic dataset
used in the paper:

"Machine Learning Models for Propeller Mass and Power Prediction from Basic Flight
Parameters Using Synthetic BEM Data"

The models predict propeller power, efficiency, and mass directly from basic
inputs:
- Diameter (m)
- Thrust (N)
- Speed (m/s)
- Blade count (2, 3, 4)
- Material (Carbon, GFRC, Composite)
- Altitude (m)

No detailed propeller geometry (chord, twist, airfoil) is required.
