Under certain mathematical premises of the fluid, there can be extracted a mathematical connection between power, radius of the propeller, torque and induced velocity.

For this reason, a reduction gearbox is placed in the drive line between the power turbine and the propeller to allow the turbine to operate at its most efficient speed while the propeller operates at its most efficient speed.

* Slip ( marine engineering ), the difference between the theoretical distance traveled per revolution of the propeller and the actual advance of the vessel

The chord of a wing, stabilizer and propeller is determined by examining the planform and measuring the distance between leading and trailing edges in the direction of the airflow.

A conventional screw propeller works within the body of water below a boat hull, effectively " screwing " through the water to drive a vessel forward by generating a difference in pressure between the forward and rear surfaces of the propeller blades and by accelerating a mass of water rearward.

The Kort nozzle is a sturdy cylindrical structure around a special propeller having minimum clearance between the propeller blades and the inner wall of the Kort nozzle.

In practice the wave pattern between the V-shaped wavefronts is usually mixed with the effects of propeller backwash and eddying behind the boat's ( usually square-ended ) stern.

Syrian Airlines was established in autumn 1946, with two propeller aircraft and started to fly between Damascus, Aleppo and Deir ez-Zour and Al-Qamishli.

This was powered by a de Havilland Gipsy engine mounted in the fuselage behind the seats and driving a fixed pitch propeller through a shaft running horizontally between the pilot and passenger.

Toshiba Machine Company of Japan and Kongsberg Group of Norway supplied eight computer-guided propeller milling machines to the Soviet Union between 1982 and 1984, an action that violated the CoCom regulations.

While its main equipment was the B. E. 2c, it also operated a fighter flight between May 1915 and early 1916 equipped with a mixture of aircraft, including the Royal Aircraft Factory B. E. 8 and the Bristol Scout, while it also evaluated the prototype Royal Aircraft Factory B. E. 9, a modified B. E. 2 that carried the observer / gunner in a nacelle ahead of the aircraft's propeller.

Early submarines used a direct mechanical connection between the engine and propeller, switching between diesel engines for surface running, and electric motors for submerged propulsion.

It would seem most natural to place the gun between the pilot and the propeller, firing in the direct line of flight, so that the gun could be aimed by " aiming the aircraft ".

In an open bolt firing cycle, it is impossible to predict the exact time any given round will fire, and for obvious reasons this is an unattractive characteristic in a weapon one is attempting to fire between the spinning blades of a propeller.

* The medal is a silver cross 60 mm high and 54 mm wide, representing aircraft propeller blades, with wings between the arms.

These features make it a cross-over between the touring and retractable propeller motor gliders.

The difference between a saildrive and a Z-drive is that a saildrive's propeller shaft is fixed in place, pointing aft, whereas a Z-drive's propeller shaft can be rotated to any azimuth.

A separate propeller provides forward thrust, and can be placed in a tractor configuration with the engine and propeller at the front of the fuselage ( e. g., Cierva ), or pusher configuration with the engine and propeller at the rear of the fuselage ( e. g., Bensen ).

In this version the engine and propeller are located at the front of the aircraft, ahead of the pilot and rotor mast.

Before the advent of the starter motor, engines were started by various methods including wind-up springs, gun powder cylinders, and human-powered techniques such as a removable crank handle which engaged the front of the crankshaft, pulling on an airplane propeller, or pulling a cord that was wound around an open-face pulley.

On the French front the tiny Nieuport 11, a tractor biplane with a forward firing gun mounted high on the top wing above the arc of the propeller, also proved a match for the German fighter when it entered service with Escadrille N. 3 in January 1916.

In The Principles of Mechanics ( 1754 ) he shows a wind-powered vehicle in which the vertically-mounted propeller gives direct power to the front wheels via a system of cogs.

The plane used a 4-cylinder piston engine to power a rotary compressor which was intended to propel the craft by a combination of suction at the front and airflow out the rear instead of using a propeller.
