Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international community of specialists reinvented the propeller during the Aeronautical Revolution, a vibrant period of innovation in North America and Europe from World War I to the end of World War II. They experienced both success and failure as they created competing designs that enabled increasingly sophisticated and 'modern' commercial and military aircraft to climb quicker and cruise faster using less power. Reinventing the Propeller nimbly moves from the minds of these inventors to their drawing boards, workshops, research and development facilities, and factories, and then shows us how their work performed in the air, both commercially and militarily. Reinventing the Propeller documents this story of a forgotten technology to reveal new perspectives on engineering, research and development, design, and the multi-layered social, cultural, financial, commercial, industrial, and military infrastructure of aviation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The airplane has experienced phenomenal advancement in the twentieth century, changing at an exponential rate from the Wright brothers to the present day. In this ground breaking work based on new research, Dr John D. Anderson, Jr, a curator at the National Air and Space Museum, analyzes the historical development of the conceptual design process of the airplane. He aims to answer the question of whether airplane advancement has been driven by a parallel advancement in the intellectual methodology of conceptual airplane design. In doing so, Anderson identifies and examines six case histories of 'grand designers' in this field, and challenges some of the preconceived notions of how the intellectual methodology of conceptual airplane design advanced. Filled with over one hundred illustrations which bring his words to life, Anderson unfolds the lives and thoughts of these grand designers.

Download or read book Propeller Aerodynamics written by Frank Hitchens and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical aerodynamics is a compulsory study subject for pilots at all levels of experience. Propeller Aerodynamics is a subset of this fascinating subject. Propellers have their unique aerodynamic terminology, forces and handling requirements, knowledge of which all pilots must be aware of to safely handle the aircraft they are flying. Incorrect propeller handling can cause damage to the aircraft and reduce performance efficiency. Most aerodynamic text books only give a brief view of propeller aerodynamics; however this book Propeller Aerodynamics delves more deeply into this subject. The book covers the history and operation of aircraft propellers, prop pitch, thrust, efficiency, aircraft stability, prop forces, constant-speed units and more. This is all essential reading for the pilot progressing to more advanced high-performance aircraft.

Download or read book Propellers written by Cecil H. Peabody and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Propellers This book gives a reliable and convenient method of designing propellers, based on model experiments, and free from theoretical intricacies and uncertainties. For details of experiments on which the method is based and for theoretical investigations, reference may be had to the author's Naval Architecture. Tables are given for two, three, and four bladed propellers, from which the dimensions of a propeller may readily be determined, without interpolation, when the power, speed and revolutions arc assigned, either to give maximum efficiency or to conform to certain restrictions such as limited draught. Drawings and computations for propellers are much simplified by using the projected contour and area of the blades, and tables are given by aid of which exact results may quickly be determined. The designer may, however, use the conventional developed contour of blades, if he prefers; simple methods of drawing such contours are included in the text. A brief treatment is given of methods for determining the power required to propel a ship at a given speed, together with data for various types of ships and boats. It is believed that intelligent use of this material will give satisfactory results under ordinary conditions; the best results, expecially under extreme conditions, can be expected only by experienced designers who have specific information. All methods of designing ships and propellers are based, either explicitly or implicitly, on the theory of. mechanical similitude. The conclusions and methods of this theory may be stated briefly and used easily; a presentation of the theory is given at the end of the book for convenient reference.
