After you read this book you will never see props the same way again.

Pretty technical info - isn't there something that just tells you "dis prop x, it go real fast, dis prop, it get you high, but not so fast".

LOL

After you read this book you will never see props the same way again.

I'm bootstrapping my aviation knowledge. It didn't take me long to realize that there is a correlation between engine power and prop design (not to mention weight, drag, etc.). What that correlation is is a complete mystery to me but this book looks like it is worth spending $18 on to unravel a lot of it.

Now I just need to find the time to work it into my reading list.

Prop info

Look for Contact! magazine to have three articles I wrote about Pitch, Planform, and Multi-blades. Pat says these will be appearing in one of the next two issues.
