The shortest path between any two points on a curved surface is called a geodesic, this is the term that you should use in searches to find how to design a vane.
The result of such search would list articles as below:

Hi Ren,
After watching the video I think I'm now equipped to be able to handle space-time continuum and black hole gravity calculations but not sure if I'll be able to pull off the radius of helix.
What would be great would be for someone with good higher level math skills to reduce the equations to an extremely simple formula where we enter inside the drum radius of circle and pitch angle and it spits out our arc radius. I'll do some searches using the geodesic term and see what comes up.
