  2. Voith Schneider Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voith_Schneider_Propeller

    The Voith Schneider propeller was originally a design for a hydro-electric turbine. [2] Its Austrian inventor, Ernst Schneider, had a chance meeting on a train with a manager at Voith's subsidiary St. Pölten works; this led to the turbine being investigated by Voith's engineers, who discovered that although it was no more efficient than other water turbines, Schneider's design worked well as ...

  4. Modular propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_propeller

    Traditional one-piece propellers may be professionally modified to change the blade pitch, but this is not a common or easy option. In contrast, a modular propeller allows changes to be made quickly and easily. [2] A modular propeller may have, for instance, a metal hub but composite blades. One patent application has defined a modular ...

  5. Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    A constant-speed propeller is a variable-pitch propeller that automatically changes its blade pitch in order to maintain a chosen rotational speed, regardless of the operational conditions of the aircraft. This is achieved by use of a constant-speed unit (CSU) or propeller governor, which automatically changes the propeller's blade pitch.

  6. Scimitar propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scimitar_propeller

    Swept propeller Scimitar propeller on a 1926 Alexander Eaglerock Eight-blade scimitar propellers on the Airbus A400M Atlas. A scimitar propeller is a type of propeller that has curved blades with increasing sweep along the leading edge. Their name is derived from their visual similarity to the curved blades of scimitars.

  7. Rotor solidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_solidity

    Rotor solidity is a dimensionless quantity used in design and analysis of rotorcraft, propellers and wind turbines.Rotor solidity is a function of the aspect ratio and number of blades in the rotor and is widely used as a parameter for ensuring geometric similarity in rotorcraft experiments.

  8. Single-blade propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-blade_propeller

    Single-blade propeller drawing Single-blade propeller and glider drawing. A single-blade propeller may be used on aircraft to generate thrust.Normally propellers are multi-blades but the simplicity of a single-blade propeller fits well on motorized gliders, because it permits the design of a smaller aperture of the glider fuselage for retraction of the power plant.

  9. Folding propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding_propeller

    Folding propellers reduce drag while not in use, thereby allowing for more speed or reduced fuel consumption. Folding propellers are no more efficient than fixed blade propellers, and have much poorer performance in astern. Less noise and vibration than fixed blades when not in use, since fluid flow will not cause the propeller to rotate.
