He probably borrowed the pliers from the USAF and they can't find him 😄 Total red tape inspection is required but not welcome by many. Inspection or not airplanes still fall out of the sky for many reasons.

Maybe one of you airplane buffs can clarify this but I always wondered why not have four or five bladed props...won't they push more air?

@betterl8thannvr

3 ай бұрын

More blades = more drag. 2 blades is the most efficient number if they can be long enough to use all of the available engine power. 3 and 4 bladed props are usually seen on higher powered engines where making the most efficient use of the power would require blades that are too long for a 2 bladed design. You don't want the props too close to the ground and you don't want the tips going supersonic.

@HerbOMatic

3 ай бұрын

That's right!, there is some evidence that a counter-balanced single bladed prop would be even more efficient but they are dumb in practice due to uneven thrust.
