Title: Good video about propellers
Post by: Oldenginerod on January 09, 2020, 03:56:22 AM

Check this out.  Found it really interesting apart from my lack of mental capacity to take in all the tech stuff.  If you can't sit through it, come in at about 18 minutes where it explains a little about the torque effect on an aircraft from a rotating prop which we modelers often need to deal with.

Wow, Oldenginerod!  Thoroughly enjoyed it!  Quite apart from the education re the propeller the vintage  motion pictures of much of the history of powered flight were outstanding and reminders of the skills and thought invested in the development of not only the propeller but the historical development of the ever more capable aircraft that demanded those skills and mental creativity.

Thank you.
