The Air Propeller: Its Working Characteristics And Theory; Together With A Brief Discussion Of The Airplane Engine And The Power Available For Airplane Propulsion (1919)

""The Air Propeller: Its Working Characteristics And Theory; Together With A Brief Discussion Of The Airplane Engine And The Power Available For Airplane Propulsion"" is a book written by Frederick Bedell and published in 1919. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the working characteristics and theory of air propellers, which are essential components of airplane propulsion systems. The author delves into the fundamental principles of aerodynamics and the various forces that act on an air propeller, such as thrust, torque, and drag. He also discusses the different types of air propellers, including fixed-pitch, variable-pitch, and controllable-pitch propellers, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. In addition to the air propeller, Bedell also provides a brief discussion of the airplane engine and the power available for airplane propulsion. He covers the different types of engines used in airplanes, such as reciprocating engines and turbine engines, and their respective strengths and weaknesses. Overall, ""The Air Propeller: Its Working Characteristics And Theory; Together With A Brief Discussion Of The Airplane Engine And The Power Available For Airplane Propulsion"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the mechanics of airplane propulsion systems, particularly the role of air propellers. It is a well-written and informative book that provides a thorough understanding of the subject matter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
