THE primary purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the most pressing problems involved in choosing the propeller that is most suitable for use on a particular airplane. Propeller design is not ...

Hartzell’s 5-blade composite propeller reduces aircraft weight by around 20 pounds total by using carbon fiber construction ...

When you're at an airport and see propeller aircraft, you likely think it is powered by a piston engine. This is usually true among smaller planes, like the Cessa 172 Skyhawk and the Piper Archer, or ...

At the very crux of engineering is the desire to problem-solve, optimize, and squeeze out every bit of efficiency possible from the system being built. Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering ...

Certain propeller driven aeroplanes are equipped with piston engines whose fundamental "firing"-frequency coincides with the rotational frequency of the propeller. Taking the two sources as a system ...

Powered by the West's largest turbo-prop engine, the new European competitor is designed to lift 37 tons compared with the Hercules's payload of 21 tons and the C-17's 75 tons. Its list price is ...
