THE development work that resulted in the Hamilton standard constant-speed control is discussed briefly, and the various types of controls that were evolved during the development are described. The ...

Chances are you’ve come across descriptions of how constant-speed propellers work, oh, about a thousand times since your piloting days began. Instead of rehashing how they operate, let’s talk about ...

A numerical method using the analytical techniques of Lock and Theodorsen as described by Davidson is used to predict the performance of a counterrotating propeller. The counterrotating propeller ...
