  • Chapter 7: Propellers › Propellers Used on General Aviation Aircraft › Fixed-Pitch Wooden Propellers

    Propellers Used on General Aviation Aircraft An increasing number of light aircraft are designed for operation with governor-regulated, constant-speed propellers. Significant segments of general aviation aircraft are still operated with fixed-pitch propellers. Light-sport ... aircraft (LSA) use multiblade fixed-pitch composite propellers on up to medium size turbo prop aircraft with reversing propeller systems. Larger transport and cargo turbo prop aircraft use propeller systems with dual or double-acting governors…

  • Chapter 7: Propellers › Propellers Used on General Aviation Aircraft › Metal Fixed-Pitch Propellers

    Metal Fixed-Pitch Propellers Metal fixed-pitch propellers are similar in general appearance to a wooden propeller, except that the sections are usually thinner. The metal fixed-pitch propeller is widely used on many models of light aircraft and LSA. Many of the earliest metal propellers were manufactured in one piece of forged Duralumin. Compared to wooden propellers, they were lighter in weight because of elimination of blade-clamping devices, offered a lower maintenance cost because they…
