What is the instrument that indicates engine power for an aircraft with a fixed-pitch propeller?

That would be the RPM gauge. On an aircraft with variable pitch prop it would be the manifold pressure gauge.

What is The largest single engine propeller aircraft?
The largest single engine propeller driven aircraft is the Grumman AF-2S Guardian, a sub chaser of the Korean War era. It grossed at 25,500 lbs and was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R2800 engine of 2400 horsepower. It also had the largest Wing span for a single engine reciprocating aircraft at 60' 8".
Airplanes and aircraft?
Airplanes are generally fixed-wing aircraft. Aircraft can mean any type of flying machine, from airships (balloons/blimps), jets, propeller driven airplanes, rotor-wing (helicopters), UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), drones (about the same thing as a UAV), or the space shuttle.
What do the call letters CVN65 on USS Enterprise stand for?
CV indicates that it is a Aircraft Carrier. The N indicates that it has Nuclear propulsion. The number is used to indicate the specific hull number of the ship.
What was the first aircraft to have a machine gun to fire through its propeller arc?
Vickers F.B.5 Gunbus made in 1914. It made of wood and it lasted only two years in service.
Why is a altimeter so important?
An instrument for determining elevation, especially an aneroid barometer used in aircraft that senses pressure changes accompanying changes in altitude.
What are the three types of propeller installation in aircraft?
just put the propeller in the aircraft
Do airplanes have one propeller?
Many small aircraft have 1 propeller.
What is the function of aircraft propeller?
To "propel" the aircraft through the air.
Main purpose of aircraft propeller?
The main purpose of an aircraft propeller is to pull the aircraft through the air. and also to convert the rotational force to thrust or lift.
How does a propeller driven aircraft fly?
The propeller pushes or pulls the aircraft forward, once sufficient forward speed is attained the wing can produce lift and the aircraft flies.
What is aircraft propeller?
A propeller is the object on the aircraft that rotates to produce thrust almost like a fan makes wind... it aims the wind behind it and pushes the aircraft forward
How does aircraft propeller work?
the motor spins the propeller like a turbine. isn't it obvious, idiot .
What are the two types of military aircraft?
jet and propeller
What is a Cherokee aircraft?
The "Cherokee" is a model of Piper Aircraft. It is a single engine, propeller driven, low wing aircraft.
Is pilot or propeller part of an airplane?
The PILOT is considered part of the CREW. The PROPELLER is a part of the actual aircraft.
What is aircraft propeller and what function does it do to the aircraft?
An aircraft propeller is what gives the aircraft power to move it forward (or backward, depending on it's pitch). This enables the aircraft to acquire lift and gain altitude. Propellers are found on some fixed-wing aircraft and autogyros. On helicopters, the blades that lift it and stabilize it are called rotors.
How a propeller engine runs an airplane?
A propeller is a wing. When the engine rotates the propeller, the curved surfaces of the propeller develop lift just as the main wing does. Since the "lift" is in a forward direction instead of upward, the aircraft is pulled forward. Surprisingly, the outer 1/3 of the propeller provides almost all of the lift pulling the aircraft.
