I was driving past my local small airport (or one of them anyway) and I saw a plane on the tarmac that had what I can only describe as a "strange" prop. Or atleast one I hadn't seen before on a small aircraft.
It looked more like the screw you'd find on a modern submarine than what I think of more as a traditional prop on a small aircraft like a C172 or something.
I wish like heck I had taken a picture but I was going 50mph at the time and driving so.. probably a bad time to whip out a camera.. =p
Anyway google submarine screw and look at the sudden sweeping curve and you'll know what I mean.
It looked like a 4 blade prop.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
