A propeller is a very complex airfoil, and its pitch (the "slant" of the blade) is not the same throughout its length. Think about it. The tips are moving very fast (many feet per minute) through the air compared to the parts of the blade near the center or hub. We want to force developed by the blade to be "somewhat the same" along its length, with a bit more near the hub where it's stronger. Use the link below to see how a three-bladed, variable pitch design is manufactured. Be sure to let the first few seconds of "other stuff" go by before the start of the segment on the manufacture of the propeller, okay? And while you're at that site, look at the other related video clips listed on the right. It's really interesting stuff!

What is the function of the propeller?
The propellers purpose is to pull (or push) the aircraft forward through the air. It does this in much the same way that the airplanes wing produces lift, only instead of being pushed forward through the air, it is spun in circles through the air.Most modern airplanes have a variable-pitch (fixed speed) propeller. The pilot is able to adjust the pitch (or bite) of the propeller to maximize performance at various altitudes.A propeller is a type of fan that converts rotational motion into thrust by transmitting power. The shape and angle of the blade create pressure.
How much does a Propeller planes weigh?
propeller planes weight depends on how, tall it is, how wide it is, and how much cargo it has.
What is the difference between a propeller and impeller?
Propeller is external (outboard motor on a boat) Impeller is internal (vehicle water pump).
How do you you make a rubber band powered boat?
A rubber band boat works much like a rubber band airplane. First you need to build the boat itself. Then you need to make a propeller. The propeller shaft needs to run through the inside of the boat, not below the boat. With the prop below the water. The propeller shaft should not go the full length of the boat. About halfway through put a loop in the shaft. Then to the front of the boat attach a rubber band. Then run the rubber band through the loop in propeller shaft. Now twist the prop and the rubber band should twist around and around. When it's good and tight let go and the propeller should spin. Allowing the boat to move forward in the water. Mind you the shaft needs to be a thin piece of metal, as it will be difficult to make it water tight.
How does a propeller move an airplane?
The propeller turns many revolutions per minute and deflects air behind it .
What is a propeller airplane?
A propeller airplane is, simply put, any airplane which uses a propeller for propulsion.
How does a propeller produce thrust?
A propeller is like a spinning wing. The airfoil shaped blades pull an airplane forward just as an airplane's wings lift it upward. The amount of thrust created by a propeller depends on how fast and at what angle its blades cut through the air. The propeller is generally powered by a combustion engine which fires pistons and turns the propeller.
What propels an airplane or ship?
A ship is propelled by wind or a propeller, and an airplane is propelled by a jet engine, propeller or turboprop.
Propeller to airplane?
Pedal : Bicycle
Can you attach a propeller to a paper airplane?
yes, but not too powerful, or the plane will spin with the propeller
Who invented airplane propeller?
The Wright Brothers. === ===
What type of enjoin does a early airplane have?
propeller
What does a propeller do on a turboprop airplane engine?
The propeller on a turboprop airplane engine spins to move the aircraft through the air. It acts in a way similar to that of the blade in a fan.
How do you remove an airplane propeller?
you take it off the shaft
Does an airplane have a propeller?
Yes, some airplanes have propellers.
Why can't a airplane fly without a propeller?
B
