Can one invention revolutionise propellers, whose basic design has been around for over 100 years? Not so fast.

    I saw someone 3D print a toroidal prop on YouTube. They tested it and it was 10 times louder than the normal but high quality manufactured propellers. So it would have to be made with a much more precise 3D printing process I think. Link for a laugh 😆
