Re: What happened to Strega?
Strega's prop modification wasn't exactly a top-down design, it was more a case of making lemonade out of lemons.
Going from memory:
A few (well... MANY) years ago, the prop was dinged on landing after the races. The damage was mild enough that cutting down and re-profiling the tips saved the blades, and the new tip profile may well have some advantages in reducing tip shockwave formation.
