A propeller is a type of fan that transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust. A pressure difference is produced between the forward and rear surfaces of the airfoil-shaped blade, and a fluid (such as air or water) is accelerated behind the blade. Propeller dynamics can be modelled by both Bernoulli`s principle and Newton`s third.....

[aeronautics] Aircraft propellers or airscrews convert rotary motion from piston engines, turboprops or electric motors to provide propulsive force. They may be fixed or variable pitch. Early aircraft propellers were carved by hand from solid or laminated wood with later propellers being constructed from metal. The most modern propeller des...

• A propeller screw placed in front of the supporting planes of an aeroplane instead of behind them, so that it exerts a pull instead of a push. Hence, Tractor monoplane, Tractor biplane, etc. • (n.) One who, or that which, propels. • (n.) A contrivance for propelling a steam vessel, usually consisting of a screw placed in the ste......

An assembly of radially disposed blades with an airfoil shape that when rotated in air produce thrust.All propeller blade airfoils have a certain angle of attack range, in which the flow around the airfoil remains attached to airfoil's surface. While this is the case, the efficiency of the axial fan is satisfactory, but, when the angle of attack of...

A device commonly used to convert the power of an aircraft piston or turboprop engine into propulsive force; each blade is essentially a rotating wing, twisted and varying in section from root to tip to achieve maximum efficiency, which produces lift in a forward direction, i.e. thrust. In the 1940s propellers were often referred to as airscrews.

Screwlike device used to propel some ships and aeroplanes. A propeller has a number of curved blades that describe a helical path as they rotate with the hub, and accelerate fluid (liquid or gas) backwards during rotation. Reaction to this backward movement of fluid sets up a propulsive thrust forwards. The marine screw propeller was developed by F...
