Aircraft propellers are broadly divided into fixed-pitch, which offer a performance compromise between climb and cruise, and variable-pitch types, which can adjust blade angle. Variable-pitch ...

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 ...

Horizon Aircraft, an aerospace engineering firm focusing on hybrid eVTOL aircraft, announced a strategic partnership with MT-Propeller to supply advanced propellers for its Cavorite X7 model. This ...

When one thinks of the average airplane, odds are that propellers are part of that mental image. They've been a crucial component of airplane construction from the moment air travel found its footing ...

Collins Aerospace says the eight-blade NP2000 composite propellers on the Lockheed Martin C-130H enable more traction for a given propeller diameter. Credit: Collins Aerospace Propeller manufacturers ...

There is this big plan in the transportation industry to significantly cut back on emissions. Depending on where you are on this Earth, the goals are more or less ambitious, and the timeframe for ...

"There are a large number of woods used in the construction of airplane propellers and the selection of one suitable to meet the conditions in hand is not always an easy problem," writes Frank W.

Depending on where they are positioned in the industry, aircraft makers and other companies involved in aviation are trying different recipes in their fight to go as green as possible, as soon as ...

Early aircraft often used rear-mounted propellers that pushed the airplane forward instead of pulling it through the air.

The propeller system is the earliest thrust generator designed for fully powered aircraft flight. Though they have evolved quite a bit since their first operation by the Wright brothers in 1903, ...
