Zhrnutie	Blade element momentum theory (BEM) is a fundamental method for analyzing rotor performance by combining blade element aerodynamics with momentum conservation. Developed initially by Froude and refined by Glauert and Leishman, BEM decomposes a rotor into radial blade elements, computes local aerodynamic forces, and sums contributions to predict total thrust, torque, power, and efficiency. BEM is standard for helicopter, wind turbine, and propeller design.	Propeller lifting line theory is a mathematical framework for analyzing and designing ship propellers by modeling each blade as a lifting line with circulation distribution. Developed by Sydney Goldstein in 1929 and refined by Kerwin and others, the method accounts for blade loading, wake effects, and propeller interactions. Lifting line theory provides efficient predictions of propeller thrust, torque, and efficiency and remains standard in preliminary propeller design and optimization.
