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 ...

When you picture a propeller-driven aircraft, you probably imagine a single engine plane with the propeller spinning at the front. There's a good reason for that, as the front-facing design has proven ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new milestone has been achieved with the PT6 E-Series™ Engine - New PT6 E-Series™ engine raises the bar in engine performance, control systems, data intelligence and service solutions - Redesigned ...

Question: Why are the hurricane hunter planes only twin turboprops and not the regular fan jets that passenger planes use? Answer: The turboprops are more tolerant of hail than the jets. Airplanes ...
