  2. Supermarine Spitfire (early Merlin-powered variants) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire...

    A de Havilland 3 blade propeller unit is fitted, along with a "blown" canopy and the laminated bulletproof windscreen and later aerial mast. The brass plate below the external starter plug can be seen on the side engine cowling. Starting in September 1940, IFF equipment was installed. This weighed about 40 lb (18 kg) and could be identified by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroidal_propeller

    A toroidal propeller is a type of propeller that is ring-shaped with each blade forming a closed loop. The propellers are significantly quieter at audible frequency ranges, between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, while generating comparable thrust to traditional propellers. In practice, toroidal propellers reduce noise pollution in both aviation and maritime ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarine_Spitfire...

    A four blade Rotol propeller of 10 ft 5 in (3.1 m) was used. [13] Apart from these differences the Mk IV airframe was closely related to that of the Merlin-powered Mk III. One feature of the Griffon engine which was to catch a lot of pilots out was that the propeller rotated in the opposite direction to that of the Merlin; i.e.,: to the left ...

    Their original propeller blades had an efficiency of about 82%, [19] compared to 90% for a modern (2010) small general aviation propeller, the 3-blade McCauley used on a Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft. [20] Roper [21] quotes 90% for a propeller for a human-powered aircraft.

    The craft achieved a speed of 4 mph (6.4 km/h), but Stevens abandoned propellers due to the inherent danger in using the high-pressure steam engines. His subsequent vessels were paddle-wheeled boats. [15] By 1827, Czech inventor Josef Ressel had invented a screw propeller with multiple blades on a conical base. He tested it in February 1826 on ...

    Four-bladed Hamilton Standard propellers replaced the Aero Products' three-blade propellers that distinguished the earlier A-models. The C-130B had ailerons operated by hydraulic pressure that was increased from 2,050 to 3,000 psi (14.1 to 20.7 MPa), as well as uprated engines and four-blade propellers that were standard until the J-model.
