Sorry, I got my information wrong when I stated that a three bladed
prop advanced 15 inches during each revolution at 200 mph. I now have the article in front of me and the exact quote is as follows: "At 200 mph and 2,800 rpm, the blades on my three-plade prop follow three distinct helical paths through the air, and each blade is 25" ahead of the previous blade at the same point of rotation." I repeat that I am not a prop engineer nor do I have any formal training in aerodynamics but it appears to me that by advancing 25" during it's revolution, the affect of one blade might have upon the next one would seem to be pretty inconsequential.
