Thank you What does “1635 blades were obtained from 1444 matrix” mean? They were same blade? Licensed from Chauviere? Thanks RT

Waroff - this is fantastic information. Do you have an documents showing this? I have also been told that this blade was the same as the Ratier 1635 blade used on the Messerschmitt Me 323 D-6, Leo 45, Amiot 351 & 354. Here are some additional photos with the rattier hub adapter i found...

are you not understanding?? Chauviere helped Ratier. In this case it was with the 1635 propeller blade. Really not that hard to understand. WOW

How is it not proof? The spinner has a riveted nameplate in it referring to the Ratier 1635 blades. Pretty amazing proof actually.

More proof the ME323 used the RATIER 1635 Blades https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/messerschmitt-me-323-spinner-9212-c-b952a3375f

Documents show that the Ratier 1635 was used on these airplanes. ME323, LEO 451 or Amiot 354. This propeller has been confirmed as the Ratier 1635 Please show me your documents showing this propeller does not go on these airplanes. Thank You RATIER 1635 SPECS

Matches the threads and adapter perfectly, manual page of Ratier 1635 propeller blade. So this could have been on the ME323, LEO 451 or Amiot 354.

Yea the LEO 451 also used the 3.2M diameter Ratier 1634/1635 props. My propeller blade is 60 inches and has the Ratier thread and adapter. So this may be it :).

This blade is also NOT counter-rotating and would be around 3.2-3.4m in diameter completed. It looks to be a series type 528. Any info on this blade? Thanks

Anyone have a Messerschmitt Me 323 manual referring to the use of a Chauviere propeller? thanks so much - RT

also it was suggested it came off of the Messerschmitt Me 323 version Me 323D-6 https://aerocorner.com/aircraft/messerschmitt-me-323/

they didn't really elaborate. Just sent this: https://www.hydroretro.net/etudegh/heliciersfrancais.pdf?fbclid=IwAR05dLjs6lvZH9xV5ASRJRDRiKXP4AdQSKFDHAYglYxWvBGOSn9acXHun9E

This was suggested to me on a Facebook page. Thanks

Hi Everyone, hope your having a nice summer. I have recently acquired this 60 inch metal Chauvière propeller blade with screw and was hoping someone would be able to identify which airplane it may have been used on. From what I have researched I was leaning towards the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406...

Mystery Solved. Finally found it last night!
