Propeller Aerodynamics CONSTANT-SPEED PROPELLER
Constant-speed propeller Centrifugal twisting force. This is the opposing force to the aerodynamic twist- ing moment. Because this force is greater, it tries to move the blades toward a reduced blade angle. A propeller is designed to withstand the effect of these forces, but the forces are nonetheless important factors in design and operation. The effect of these forces accu- mulates across the length of the blade with the greatest stress at the hub. As the rota- tional speed of the propeller increases, so too do the stresses acting upon it. Given the various forces acting upon a propeller, it is not difficult to understand the serious prob- lem associated with even small nicks or scratches that could weaken the integrity of the propeller. Propeller aerodynamics To understand how a propeller moves an aircraft through the air, it is necessary to look at it from an aerodynamic rather than a mechanical perspective. Figure 5-6 depicts the side view of a propeller detailing the blade path, blade chord, and relative wind. The illustration reveals two types of motion associated with the propeller blades: rota- tional and forward. As a blade moves downward, it simultaneously moves forward. This has a significant effect on the relative wind making it strike the blade at an angle that is between straight ahead and straight down. This angle that the relative wind strikes the blade is called the angle of attack. The relative wind hitting the descending blade is deflected rearward causing the dynamic pressure on the engine side of the blade to be greater than the pressure on the back of the blade. -

Propeller Operation and Malfunctions Basic Familiarization for Flight Crews
PROPELLER OPERATION AND MALFUNCTIONS BASIC FAMILIARIZATION FOR FLIGHT CREWS INTRODUCTION The following is basic material to help pilots understand how the propellers on turbine engines work, and how they sometimes fail. Some of these failures and malfunctions cannot be duplicated well in the simulator, which can cause recognition difficulties when they happen in actual operation. This text is not meant to replace other instructional texts. However, completion of the material can provide pilots with additional understanding of turbopropeller operation and the handling of malfunctions. GENERAL PROPELLER PRINCIPLES Propeller and engine system designs vary widely. They range from wood propellers on reciprocating engines to fully reversing and feathering constant- speed propellers on turbine engines. Each of these propulsion systems has the similar basic function of producing thrust to propel the airplane, but with different control and operational requirements. Since the full range of combinations is too broad to cover fully in this summary, it will focus on a typical system for transport category airplanes - the constant speed, feathering and reversing propellers on turbine engines. Major propeller components The propeller consists of several blades held in place by a central hub. The propeller hub holds the blades in place and is connected to the engine through a propeller drive shaft and a gearbox. There is also a control system for the propeller, which will be discussed later. Modern propellers on large turboprop airplanes typically have 4 to 6 blades. Other components typically include: The spinner, which creates aerodynamic streamlining over the propeller hub. The bulkhead, which allows the spinner to be attached to the rest of the propeller. -

Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines
Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines John Schenderlein1, and Tyler Clayton2 University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, 80304 Although they garnish less attention than their flashy jet cousins, turboshaft engines hold a specialized niche in the aviation industry. Built to be compact, efficient, and powerful, turboshafts have made modern helicopters and the feats they accomplish possible. First implemented in the 1950s, turboshaft geometry has gone largely unchanged, but advances in materials and axial flow technology have continued to drive higher power and efficiency from today's turboshafts. Similarly to the turbojet and fan industry, there are only a handful of big players in the market. The usual suspects - Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, and Rolls-Royce - have taken over most of the industry, but lesser known companies like Lycoming and Turbomeca still hold a footing in the Turboshaft world. Nomenclature shp = Shaft Horsepower SFC = Specific Fuel Consumption FPT = Free Power Turbine HPT = High Power Turbine Introduction & Background Turboshaft engines are very similar to a turboprop engine; in fact many turboshaft engines were created by modifying existing turboprop engines to fit the needs of the rotorcraft they propel. The most common use of turboshaft engines is in scenarios where high power and reliability are required within a small envelope of requirements for size and weight. Most helicopter, marine, and auxiliary power units applications take advantage of turboshaft configurations. In fact, the turboshaft plays a workhorse role in the aviation industry as much as it is does for industrial power generation. While conventional turbine jet propulsion is achieved through thrust generated by a hot and fast exhaust stream, turboshaft engines creates shaft power that drives one or more rotors on the vehicle. -

Marine Propellers
2.016 Hydrodynamics Reading #10 2.016 Hydrodynamics Prof. A.H. Techet Marine Propellers Today, conventional marine propellers remain the standard propulsion mechanism for surface ships and underwater vehicles. Modifications of basic propeller geometries into water jet propulsors and alternate style thrusters on underwater vehicles has not significantly changed how we determine and analyze propeller performance. We still need propellers to generate adequate thrust to propel a vessel at some design speed with some care taken in ensuring some “reasonable” propulsive efficiency. Considerations are made to match the engine’s power and shaft speed, as well as the size of the vessel and the ship’s operating speed, with an appropriately designed propeller. Given that the above conditions are interdependent (ship speed depends on ship size, power required depends on desired speed, etc.) we must at least know a priori our desired operating speed for a given vessel. Following this we should understand the basic relationship between ship power, shaft torque and fuel consumption. Power: Power is simply force times velocity, where 1 HP (horsepower, english units) is equal to 0.7457 kW (kilowatt, metric) and 1kW = 1000 Newtons*meters/second. P = F*V (1.1) Effective Horsepower (EHP) is the power required to overcome a vessel’s total resistance at a given speed, not including the power required to turn the propeller or operate any machinery (this is close to the power required to tow a vessel). version 3.0 updated 8/30/2005 -1- ©2005 A. Techet 2.016 Hydrodynamics Reading #10 Indicated Horsepower (IHP) is the power required to drive a ship at a given speed, including the power required to turn the propeller and to overcome any additional friction inherent in the system. -
Helicopter Turboshafts
Helicopter Turboshafts Luke Stuyvenberg University of Colorado at Boulder Department of Aerospace Engineering The application of gas turbine engines in helicopters is discussed. The work- ings of turboshafts and the history of their use in helicopters is briefly described. Ideal cycle analyses of the Boeing 502-14 and of the General Electric T64 turboshaft engine are performed. I. Introduction to Turboshafts Turboshafts are an adaptation of gas turbine technology in which the principle output is shaft power from the expansion of hot gas through the turbine, rather than thrust from the exhaust of these gases. They have found a wide variety of applications ranging from air compression to auxiliary power generation to racing boat propulsion and more. This paper, however, will focus primarily on the application of turboshaft technology to providing main power for helicopters, to achieve extended vertical flight. II. Relationship to Turbojets As a variation of the gas turbine, turboshafts are very similar to turbojets. The operating principle is identical: atmospheric gases are ingested at the inlet, compressed, mixed with fuel and combusted, then expanded through a turbine which powers the compressor. There are two key diferences which separate turboshafts from turbojets, however. Figure 1. Basic Turboshaft Operation Note the absence of a mechanical connection between the HPT and LPT. An ideal turboshaft extracts with the HPT only the power necessary to turn the compressor, and with the LPT all remaining power from the expansion process. 1 of 10 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics A. Emphasis on Shaft Power Unlike turbojets, the primary purpose of which is to produce thrust from the expanded gases, turboshafts are intended to extract shaft horsepower (shp). -
