Propeller theory is the science governing the design of efficient propellers. A propeller is the most common propulsor on ships, and on small aircraft...

propeller, also called an airscrew, converts rotary motion from an engine or other power source into a swirling slipstream which pushes the propeller...

A propeller (often called a screw if on a ship or an airscrew if on an aircraft) is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at...

ratio is a useful non-dimensional quantity in helicopter and propeller theory, since propellers and rotors will experience the same angle of attack on every...
