McCauley Propeller Systems is an American aircraft propeller manufacturer, founded in Dayton, Ohio in 1938 by Ernest G. McCauley. [1] At its peak, it was reportedly the world's largest aircraft propeller manufacturer, [ 2 ] or at least the largest manufacturer of general aviation propellers.
Ernest Gilbert McCauley (1889 – 1969) was an American aviation pioneer [1] [2] who in 1938 founded McCauley Aviation Corporation. [1] He began his career at the government's Propeller Research Department of the Airplane Design Section, Aviation Section of the Signal Corps based at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio.

Its 190-inch propeller diameter (4.7-metre) was smaller than the NK-12's 220–240 in (5.6–6.2 m) diameter, but it produced a power output of 21,007 hp (15,665 kW), delivering a takeoff thrust of 40,000 pounds-force (177 kilonewtons). [12] Even more powerful was the NK-62, which was in development throughout most of the decade.

The unit then automatically adjusts the blades between the coarse and fine positions. On the ground, the electronic control system can be tailored to suit each aircraft by varying some soldered connections, which give some 16 options. [5] The V-Prop has both 2-bladed and 3-bladed versions, but only for clockwise rotation (as seen from the cockpit).
A 6-bladed Hamilton Standard 568F propeller on an ATR 72 short-haul airliner. Lowry [27] quotes a propeller efficiency of about 73.5% at cruise for a Cessna 172.This is derived from his "Bootstrap approach" for analyzing the performance of light general aviation aircraft using fixed pitch or constant speed propellers.
