 Torque
- resistance to motion in the plane of rotation.
Engine Torque
- Torque Produced by the engine, force that turns the propeller
Propeller Torque
- Caused by drag of the propeller blades, opposes propeller rotation
Principles:
- The combination of the forward velocity and rotational velocity creates a
helical motion of the propeller through the air.

- The tip travels fastest due to greater distance travelled in same time. Root
travels slowest. Therefore varying lift (thrust) forces.
- To even out forces, blade is twisted to compensate. Blade angle at hub needs
to be much greater than blade angle at tip.
- Geometric pitch is how far the propeller would theoretically advance in one
revolution.
- Effective pitch is how far the propeller actually advances in one revolution.
- The difference between geometric and effective pitch is called slip.
Considerations:
 Propeller Damage
- usually occurs first on leading edge, cause it hits the air first.
- avoid high power settings on loose surfaces like gravel.
 Propeller Fatigue
- most likely to occur on blade face.

 Efficiency
- fixed-pitch propellers are most efficient at only one airspeed and RPM
combination. The C172 is fitted with a cruise prop.
Airmanship:
- Always perform thorough pre-flight inspections on the propeller.
- Handle the engine smoothly.
- Low power settings on ground to avoid damage.

Aim
• To gain an understanding of the principles
and forces acting on a propeller in flight.
Application
• All stages of flight where thrust is required
Overview
• Definitions
• Principles
• Considerations
• Air Exercise
• Airmanship
• Review
Definitions
• Blade
– An aerofoil which converts engine power into thrust.
• Blade Face
– The flat side of the blade (the side the pilot sees).
• Blade Back
– The cambered side of the blade.
• Blade Angle
– The angle between the blade chordline and the plane of rotation.

Definitions
• Angle of Attack
– The angle between
the chordline of the
blade and the
relative airflow.
• Helix Angle (Angle
of advance)
– The angle between
the resultant velocity
of the blade and the
plane of rotation.
