[SPAM] RE: Unusal Props

[Dean Pappas]

That's right, and it was a closely held technology until only a few years before APCs became available.
 
The benefits of the scimitar shape for delaying compressibility effects at high prop tip Mach numbers have been known since WW2. As it turns out, Von proved the value of knowing how to read!

I believe the CAD/CAM, software, algorithms, etc used to develop the technology/process for the APC prop line came from "quiet" propellers on submarines.

Dave Von Linsowe was experimenting with semi-scimitar shaped props at that time, I wonder if APC was influenced by his efforts.

Yes we do. The semi-scimitar design was a huge departure from the "Normal". I heard from many "...what an ugly prop.....never will use.... blah, blah, blah...." among other things. But performance has silenced everyone.

True  It might be that.
I don't think I've ever seen a prop labeled as to how many blades.
Interesting thought
I like you're "tlarld"

the prop markings are like this
          2
      12  O  5
        REV-UP

with the "O" being the hole in the middle.

It's times like this I wish the "list" could handle pictures. <G>
