Pilot and Aeronautical Engineering types, answer me this: wouldn't any prop plane that has a two-bladed prop automatically get better performance if it was changed to a 3 bladed one? Also, when I was kid living in New Jersey, we used to ride up the New Jersey Turnpike to visit friends in NY---when we passed the main runway at Newark Airport, parallel to and just adjacent to the NJTP, there was a whole line of Connies parked there---all in a row. . . I think they were ANG. . . this was early, and mid-60's. . |

There is a lot of science and magic involved in prop design. You need to try to optimize the prop to the engine and the airframe it's going on. In your example of the P-47 and F4U, I bet there was also an increase in HP also. |
