|
An aircraft propeller, or airscrew, converts rotary motion from an engine or other power source, into a swirling slipstream which pushes the propeller forwards or backwards. It comprises a rotating power-driven hub, to which are attached several radial airfoil-section blades such that the whole assembly rotates about a longitudinal axis. The blade pitch may be fixed, manually variable to a few set positions, or of the automatically-variable "constant-speed" type. * The propeller attaches to the power source's driveshaft either directly or through reduction gearing. * Propellers are made from wood, metal or composites. * Propellers are only suitable for use at subsonic airspeeds mostly below about 480 mph (770 km/h), as above this speed the blade tip speed approaches the speed of sound and local supersonic flow causes high drag, noise and propeller structural problems. |
