Feathering a propeller means rotating the blades so that the leading and trailing edges are nearly parallel with the aircraft flight path to stop or minimize drag and engine rotation. Normally used to indicate the shutdown of a reciprocating or turboprop engine because of a malfunction.
What else can I help you with?
How do you recover from a propeller windmilling?
The propeller feathering can reduce windmilling to considerable extent.
What is Controllable Pitch feathering propeller?
It is a propeller in which blades can be angled to improve efficiency. This was discovered in the 1930's and helped immensely in development and speed of fighter aircraft in WW2.
Why does drag slow down a moving airplane?
Drag if friend and foe of aircraft. it is created by wing flaps or feathering of propeller blades.
Why do you feather an aircraft propeller?
Feathering an aircraft propeller involves rotating the blades to a position that significantly reduces drag, typically during engine failure. This helps to minimize the aerodynamic resistance on the aircraft, allowing it to maintain a better glide ratio and improve performance during an emergency descent. Feathering is particularly important in multi-engine aircraft, as it enhances safety and control by preventing asymmetric thrust. Additionally, it protects the propeller from potential damage by reducing windmilling in a failed engine.
What function does the magic wand tool the lasso tool and the rectangular marquee tool have in common?

What is feathering of tires?
Feathering is a uneven edge wear that can make the edge of the tire look like a saw blade.

What causes feathering in milk?
Feathering is a form of heat induced coagulation. In coffee: protein in milk is destabilised and coagulates by the heat to form white flecks on the surface.
