Research Reports and Memoranda

Abstract

In estimating the change of performance of an aircraft resulting from a change in the airscrew‐engine unit—for example, in considering the possible improvement of performance clue to an alteration of gear ratio or to fitting a variable pitch instead of a fixed‐pitch airscrew—the selection of appropriate characteristics and the estimation of the resulting performance is frequently rather troublesome. The absence of airscrew data in a form convenient for immediate application generally makes the computations lengthy.
