An interesting safety feature found on turboprops is called Propeller Feathering. What is it, and how does it work?

Later came variable-pitch propellers, where the angle of attack of the blades could be increased collectively to take a bigger “bite” of the air for more thrust.

The experts at Mercury, Yamaha and Suzuki agree that the best way to maximize control is to maximize propeller blade area. “The more blade area offered by the prop, ... which is offered down to an ...

This gives the propeller the same pitch in forward and reverse. Gori won a DAME marine design award back in 1994 for this innovation. This video illustrates how the classic Gori 3-Blade folder works: ...

Lighter, more efficient, and officially named by the aviation community, the new two-blade composite propeller is set to ...
