This is a two-bladed propeller 3 ft. in diameter, with a uniform geometrical pitch of 2.1 ft. (or a pitch-diameter ratio of 0.7). The blades have standard propeller sections based on the R.A.F-6 airfoil (Fig. 6), and the blade widths, thicknesses, and angles are as given in the first part of Table I.

Dynamic HTML, or DHTML, is a term which was used by some browser vendors to describe the combination of HTML, style sheets and client-side scripts (JavaScript, VBScript, or any other supported scripts) that enabled the creation of interactive and animated documents.
Lightly loaded propellers for light aircraft and human-powered boats mostly have two blades, motor boats mostly have three blades. The blades are attached to a boss (hub), and while it can be a big boss, it should be as small as the needs of strength allow – with fixed-pitch propellers the blades and boss are usually a single casting.
In aeronautics, a ducted fan is a thrust-generating mechanical fan or propeller mounted within a cylindrical duct or shroud. Other terms include ducted propeller or shrouded propeller. [1] When used in vertical takeoff and landing applications it is also known as a shrouded rotor. [2]
A folding propeller is a type of propeller whose blades automatically fold out when the engine is turning, and then fold back (or "feather") when the engine stops. Folding propellers are found on sailing yachts , on model airplanes, and increasingly on self-launching gliders and small motor gliders , such as the Aériane Swift PAS .
The blades are shaped so that their rotational motion through the fluid causes a pressure difference between the two surfaces of the blade by Bernoulli's principle which exerts force on the fluid. [2] Most marine propellers are screw propellers with helical blades rotating on a propeller shaft with an approximately horizontal axis. [a]
A 1-blade is a vector. Every vector is simple. A 2-blade is a simple bivector. Sums of 2-blades are also bivectors, but not always simple. A 2-blade may be expressed as the wedge product of two vectors a and b: . A 3-blade is a simple trivector, that is, it may be expressed as the wedge product of three vectors a, b, and c:
