  2. Advance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio

    Diameter of the propeller. The propeller advance ratio or coefficient is a dimensionless number used in aeronautics and marine hydrodynamics to describe the relationship between the speed at which a vehicle (like an airplane or a boat) is moving forward and the speed at which its propeller is turning.

  3. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    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.

  4. Variable-pitch propeller (marine) - Wikipedia

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

    In marine propulsion, a variable-pitch propeller is a type of propeller with blades that can be rotated around their long axis to change the blade pitch. Reversible propellers—those where the pitch can be set to negative values—can also create reverse thrust for braking or going backwards without the need to change the direction of shaft revolution.

  5. Thrust-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    Thrust-to-weight ratio is a dimensionless ratio of thrust to weight of a rocket, jet engine, propeller engine, or a vehicle propelled by such an engine that is an indicator of the performance of the engine or vehicle.

  6. Ducted propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_propeller

    A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. It is used to improve the efficiency of the propeller and is especially used on heavily loaded propellers or propellers with limited diameter. It was developed first by Luigi Stipa (1931) and later by Ludwig Kort (1934). The Kort nozzle is ...

  7. Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller

    An advanced type of propeller used on the American Los Angeles-class submarine as well as the German Type 212 submarine is called a skewback propeller. As in the scimitar blades used on some aircraft, the blade tips of a skewback propeller are swept back against the direction of rotation. In addition, the blades are tilted rearward along the ...
