All three move through a fluid. All three lose energy to turbulence, cavitation and noise. And all three can be improved by the same idea — porous technology.
We’re fascinated by how blades interact with water and air. That fascination has produced patented technology that improves performance while reducing noise and environmental impact.
Angled cuts in rowing and paddle blades soften the catch and smooth the load through the stroke. Athletes report less fatigue over distance and a more stable, controlled blade; so they can train longer and finish sessions feeling fresher.

Pressure-relieving cuts on propeller blades reduce cavitation noise and cavitation volume, enabling underwater radiated noise within recommended guidance. Quieter vessels, lower environmental impact, no performance penalty.

As airspace grows more crowded, particularly over cities, quieter engines become essential. Our patented Noise Prevention at Source (NPaS) technology addresses noise where it is generated, at the blade.
Explore AviationOscar Propulsion is a technology company. We research how blades move through fluid, we patent what we find, and we licence it to manufacturers who want to build better products.
Our technology is already applied across paddlesport, marine propulsion and aviation. If you manufacture blades — of any kind, at any scale — there is likely a version of this that applies to your product.

Research and testing conducted at Universities of Southampton, Newcastle and Strathclyde.
