Extract

Propeller moment is the name given to a dynamic phenomenon which causes considerable trouble in the design of variable pitch propellers and helicopter rotors. The development of the fundamental equation has not previously been published, to the author's knowledge, and for this reason the steps leading up to it are given. The propeller moment on any section tends to place its major axis in the plane of rotation, and the fundamental equation is equation. Its use to determine the total moment at a blade root results in lengthy calculations, with the possibilities of delays and errors.
