There is more to propellor geometry than just "size" (diameter).
Props are also called out in pitch, which describes the forward distan a blade will travel in one rotation (ignoring losses) and is a function of both the foil (shape) of the blade and its angle relative to the line of thrust.
If I am using a 14X14 prop, it may have less thrust that a 12X16, despite being 2 inches "bigger" because its blades are flatter and don't move as much air (or water)
You can install the same outboard on two different boats and need a different pitch prop because of the differences in the two boats' displacements or hull shapes. The diameters are usually fixed on outboards so the pitch is adjusted...like differential ratios in cars.
What else can I help you with?
What provides thrust for airplanes?
An engine driving a propeller or a turbine causes thrust.
How does the biplane create thrust?
Most biplanes had radial engines driving a propeller, this created thrust when it rotated.
Are thrust loads at a right angle to a shaft?
On a ships propeller shaft, the thrust will be in line with the axis of the shaft.
What is a propeller plane?
It's a plane that is propeller-driven. The engine or engines drive propellers to provide thrust for the craft.
How does the airplane propeller work?
The curved shape of the propeller deflects airflow to it's rear. This is 'thrust' that propels an aircraft.
How is the thrust force created in a propeller driven plane?
Thrust force in a propeller-driven plane is created by the rotation of the propeller blades, which accelerates and pushes air backwards. This action follows Newton's third law of motion - for every action (the air being pushed backwards), there is an equal and opposite reaction (thrust force pushing the plane forwards). The propeller blades are designed to efficiently convert engine power into forward thrust to propel the aircraft through the air.
Can a propeller work in space?
No, a propeller requires a medium, such as air or water, to push against in order to generate thrust. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium for the propeller to work against, so it would not be able to generate thrust or propel a spacecraft.
What is the kind of spinner used to give thrust to some airplanes?
The spinner alone gives no thrust. The shape of the propeller is what moves the air and gives thrust.
The push produced by a spinning propeller?
The push produced by a spinning propeller is generated by the rotation of the blades, which creates thrust by accelerating air backwards. This propulsion force is a result of the principle of action and reaction, as stated in Newton's third law of motion. The angle and speed of the propeller blades determine the efficiency and magnitude of the thrust produced.
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 is the force of a six blade propeller on a plane?
The force generated by a six blade propeller on a plane is determined by factors like the size and pitch of the blades, the engine power, and airspeed. The propeller creates thrust by accelerating air backwards, which propels the plane forward in reaction. The force produced will vary depending on the specific design and operating conditions of the propeller.
What is a trust block?
I believe you mean a "thrust block," and a thrust block is a special form of thrust bearing used by ships in order to resist the thrust of the ship's propeller shaft and transfer it to the hull.
