Use Of Propeller In Aircraft

The Prop saver was invented by Claus Urbach from Germany. It will save the propeller and motor shaft when landing harder than expected on some electric models. So landing gear is not an option. This prop saver can be used with brushless and normal electric motors.

Prop saver is often stated to be inadequate for use at certain power levels. The criticisms are most often underserved and the problems are due to an improperly fitted or used prop saver or a prop saver band that is inadequate for the intended use.

About propeller

A propeller is a type of fan that transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust. A pressure is between the rear and forward surfaces of the fluid such as air or water and airfoil-shaped behind the blade. There are many types of propeller used in flight; they are Fixed-Pitch Propeller, Test Club Propeller, Ground-Adjustable Propeller, Controllable-Pitch Propeller, Constant-Speed Propellers, Feathering Propellers, and Reverse-Pitch Propellers.

Basic Propeller Parts

There are different propeller manufacturers with many designs. These designs include the experimental multi-curved blade. All propellers have the same basic parts. The basic parts of a propeller are given below:

ü      Blade.

ü      Blade back.

ü      Blade face.

ü      Shank.

ü      Tip.

ü      Hub.

ü      Leading edge.

ü      Propeller retaining nut.

ü      Blade stations. 

About McCauley

In 1938, Earnest G. McCauley was founded the McCauley Propeller Systems, It is an American manufacturer of composite propellers for homebuilt and ultra light aircraft. The company headquarters was located in Vandalia, Ohio, but now it is located in Wichita, Kansas.

McCauley is the world's largest manufacturer of propellers for the corporate and personal aviation markets and regional airline. McCauley continues to be a pioneer in the general aviation industry with over 60 years of design and manufacturing experience. The propellers are standard equipment on aircraft worldwide such as Cessna, British Aerospace, Piper, Raytheon, and others, as well as aircraft kit manufacturers.

The types of propellers manufactured by McCauley are Fixed Pitch, Controllable Pitch, Controllable Pitch, Constant Speed, Full-Feathering, Reversing, and Beta Control.

The McCauley advantages

They build into every one of their propellers comes out as unique benefits such as performance, safety, and reliability. Every standards propeller and every model delivers advantages found only from McCauley. Below are the some of the reasons why they provide high value to their customers.
