A wind-milling propeller refers to a condition in which an aircraft's propeller spins freely due to the airflow during flight, typically when the engine is not producing power, such as in the event of an engine failure. This phenomenon allows the propeller blades to rotate with the relative wind, creating drag that can impact the aircraft's performance and descent rate. Wind-milling can also lead to increased aerodynamic efficiency during gliding, as the propeller may help maintain some directional control.

The propeller feathering can reduce windmilling to considerable extent.


Can you put a propeller on a plane to make wind energy?

You could, but then you would be generating additional drag. This would most likely require more energy to overcome than the energy generated by the windmilling propeller.


What is the name of the mixture between helicopter and plane?
