| Abstract: | In working out a design of propellers to be made of micarta is necessary to depart somewhat from the conventional types of propeller design so as to make the most advantageous use of the propellers which are peculiar to the material. It would be possible to take the design of an ordinary wooden propeller and build it in micarta. This would give a very heavy propeller, however, which, of course, would be a very serious fault in a propeller to be used in aircraft. The resulting propeller would also be no more efficient than the corresponding wooden propeller. |
