Definition and Theory
En r. Ronald P. Soriano
A propeller is part of the propulsion systemof an airplane.
It consists of two or more blades connectedtogether (by a hub) that convertaerodynamic pressure into propulsive thrustfor the airplane.

edge cuts the air,air flows over theblade face and thecamber side.

Blade Shank (Root) is
the section of the bladenearest the hub.
Blade Tip is the outer endof the blade farthest from
the hub.
Plane of Rotation is animaginary planeperpendicular to the
shaft. It is the plane thatcontains the circle inwhich the blades rotate.

Blade Angle is formed between
the face of an element and theplane of rotation. The bladeangle throughout the length ofthe blade is not the same. Thereason for placing the blade
element sections at differentangles is because the varioussections of the blade travel atdifferent speed. Each elementmust be designed as part of theblade to operate at its own bestangle of attack to create thrustwhen revolving at its best designspeed.

The inner part of the bladesection travels slower thanthe outer part near the tipof the blade.
If all the elements along a
blade is at the same bladeangle, the relative wind willnot strike the elements atthe same angle of attack.This is because of the
different in velocity of theblade element due todistance from the center ofrotation.

Thrust is produced by thepropeller attached to theengine driveshaft. Whilethe propeller is rotatingin flight, each section of
the blade has a motionthat combines theforward motion of theaircraft with circular
movement of thepropeller.

The slower the speed,the steeper the angle ofattack must be togenerate lift. Therefore,the shape of the
propeller's airfoil (crosssection) must changefrom the center to thetips. The changing shape
of the airfoil (crosssection) across the bladeresults in the twistingshape of the propeller.

Relative Wind is the airthat strikes and pass overthe airfoil as the airfoil isdriven through the air.
Angle of Attackis theangle between the chord ofthe element and the relativewind. The best efficiency ofthe propeller is obtained at
an angle of attack around 2to 4 degrees.

Geometric Pitch is the theoretical distance a
propeller would advance in one revolution.
Effective Pitch is the actual distance a propelleradvances in one revolution in the air. The effectivepitch is always shorter than geometric pitch due to
the air is a fluid and always slip.

Forces Acting on a Propeller in Flight
1. Thrust is the air force on the propeller which isparallel to the direction of advance and inducebending stress in the propeller.
2. Centrifugal force is caused by rotation of the
propeller and tends to throw the blade out fromthe center.
3. Torsion or Twisting forces in the blade itself,caused by the resultant of air forces which tend
to twist the blades toward a lower blade angle.

Stresses Acting on a Propeller in Flight
1. Bending stresses are induced by the trustforces. These stresses tend to bend the bladeforward as the airplane is moved through the airby the propeller.
2. Tensile stresses are caused by centrifugalforce.
3. Torsion stresses are produced in rotatingpropeller blades by two twisting moments. one of
these stresses is caused by the air reaction on theblades and is called the aerodynamic twisting moment.The another stress is caused by centrifugal force andis called the centrifugal twisting moment.

1. Fixed pitch:The propeller is made in one
piece. Only one pitch setting is possible and isusually two blades propeller and is often madeof wood or metal.
a. Wooden Propellers - were used almostexclusively on personal and business aircraft prior toWorld War II .
-is not cut from a solid block but is built up of a
number of separate layers of carefully selected-most commonly used wood materials are yellowbirch, sugar mable, black cherry, and black walnut

propeller to warp. For standard one-piece woodpropellers, from five to nine separate woodlaminations about 3/4 in. thick are used.

b. Metal Propellers Solid steel
propellers were used for military in the1940s.
- Modern propellers are made fromhigh-strength , heat-treated aluminumalloy by forging a single bar of
aluminum alloy to the required shape.
-Metal propellers are now extensivelyused in the aircraft industry.
-The general appearance of the metal
propeller is similar to the woodpropeller, except that the sections aregenerally thinner.

5. Constant speed- utilizes a hydraulically orelectrically operated pitch-changing mechanism which iscontrolled by governor.
-The setting of the governor is adjusted by the pilotwith the rpm lever in the cockpit. During operation, the
constant speed propeller will automatically change itsblade angle to maintain a constant engine speed. Ifengine power is increased, the blade angle is increasedto make the propeller absorb the additional power whilethe rpm remains constant.

-The term Feathering refers to the operation of rotating
the blades of the propeller to the wind position for thepurpose of stopping the rotation of the propeller toreduce drag.
-Therefore , a Feathered blade is in an approximate in-
line-of-flight position , streamlined with the line of flight(turned the blades to a very high pitch).
-Feathering is necessary when the engine fails or whenit is desirable to shutoff an engine in flight.

7. Reversing- A constant speed propeller which has theability to assume a negative blade angle and produce areversing thrust.
-When propellers are reversed, their blades are rotatedbelow their positive angle , that is, through flat pitch,
until a negative blade angle is obtained in order toproduce a thrust acting in the opposite direction to theforward thrust .
-Reverse propeller thrust is used where a large aircraft
is landed, in reducing the length of landing run.
