A propeller accelerates incoming air particles, "throwing" them towards the rear of the airplane, and thus feels a force on itself - this force is called thrust. Looking more closely at propellers shows, that a propeller adds a ve...

This Propeller theory yields for each radial station of the blade, the lift coefficients for the design case and for the different off-design cases. Once the Propeller theory has delivered the requirements for the Propeller airfoils, the second inverse theory is applied.

Propeller theory includes a variety of concepts that may at times be called pitch. Pitch can refer to the blade angle with respect to a flat plane, the distance that a propeller will advance through the air for each rotation or the amount of "bite" that the blade has on the air.

Note that this thrust is an ideal number that does not account for many losses that occur in practical, high speed propellers, like tip losses. The losses must be determined by a more detailed propeller theory, which is beyond the scope of these pages.

An unbalanced propeller, rotor or driveshaft will cause vibration and stress in the rotating part and in its supporting structure. Balancing of a rotating part is therefore highly advisable in order to accomplish one or more of the following: ... Back to Theory page...
