Aircraft technical Basics: Aircraft Propellers - Navy Training Courses Edition of 1945: Table of Contents

Aircraft Propellers - Navy Training Courses Edition of 1945, Prepared by Standards and Curriculum Division - Training Bureau of Naval Personnel, Washington 1945.

PREFACE

This book is written for the enlisted men of Naval aviation. It is one of a series of books designed to give them the necessary information to perform their aviation duties.

A knowledge of aircraft propellers is of primary importance to Aviation Propeller Mechanics. But Aviation Machinist Mates responsible for general maintenance, work and other subdivisions of Aviation Machinist Mates -  that is, Aviation Hydraulics Mechanics, Aviation Instrument Mechanics, Aviation Carburetor Mechanics, and Aviation Flight Engineers - all of them can profit by an understanding of why and how aircraft propellers operate. Specialists should not be narrowly limited to their specialties alone. They should know how their jobs relate to other jobs.

Starting with the basic principles of propeller operation, this book discusses the four types of propellers used today in naval aviation. There is information on the two-position controllable pitch propeller, the constant speed propeller, the hydromatic quick-feathering propeller, and the electric propeller. In conclusion, there is a section on trouble shooting specifically for hydromatic and electric propellers.

As one of the Navy TRAINING Courses this book represents the joint endeavor of the Naval Air Technical Training Command and the Training Courses Unit of the Bureau of Naval Personnel.
