The propeller system is the earliest thrust generator designed for fully powered aircraft flight. Though they have evolved quite a bit since their first operation by the Wright brothers in 1903, ...

Controllable, or Variable Pitch Propellers are just one type of propulsion used on ships. Controllable pitch propellers vary ...

At the very crux of engineering is the desire to problem-solve, optimize, and squeeze out every bit of efficiency possible from the system being built. Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering ...

When one thinks of the average airplane, odds are that propellers are part of that mental image. They've been a crucial component of airplane construction from the moment air travel found its footing ...

Distributed ducted propellers show immense potential for low-altitude aircraft, but the vast number of possible designs complicates standardized analysis. This research introduces a novel equivalent ...
