    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_(aeronautics)

    The propellers of a C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft. In aeronautics, an aircraft propeller, also called an airscrew, [1] [2] converts rotary motion from an engine or other power source into a swirling slipstream which pushes the propeller forwards or backwards.

  3. Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-pitch_propeller...

    When an aircraft is stationary with the propeller spinning (in calm air), the relative wind vector for each propeller blade is from the side. However, as the aircraft starts to move forward, the relative wind vector comes increasingly from the front. The propeller blade pitch must be increased to maintain optimum angle of attack to the relative ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller

    A propeller (often called a screw if on a ship or an airscrew if on an aircraft) is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral which, when rotated, exerts linear thrust upon a working fluid such as water or air. [1]

    Contra-rotating propellers Contra-rotating propellers on the Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered P-51XR Mustang Precious Metal at the 2014 Reno Air Races. Aircraft equipped with contra-rotating propellers (CRP) [1] coaxial contra-rotating propellers, or high-speed propellers, apply the maximum power of usually a single piston engine or turboprop engine to drive a pair of coaxial propellers in contra ...

  7. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    This type of propeller can reverse or change its direction of thrust very quickly. Fixed-wing aircraft are also subject to the P-factor effect, in which a rotating propeller will yaw an aircraft slightly to one side because the relative wind it produces is asymmetrical. It is particularly noticeable when climbing, but is usually simple to ...
