Aw flaming stralia
We routinely get questions on what prop is that or what prop does this blade fit etc.

I know a lot of propeller documents have been posted to the forum but they are all over the place.

Being lazy I thought it might help if they had a single page that people can post prop manuals to and or link other prop manuals on the forum to.

So my first offering is this one. OCR's and watermarked to reduce scum selling copies. You are free to give it to anyone else you want to

German Propeller Blade Manufacturer's Design Codes

Hey guys, I do not know if this has been covered on the forum before, or if this is the correct section to put it in? I have had a difficult time finding the German blade manufacturer's blade design code prefixes, but I have finally found all (I think) of the ones used post-1939. 9-1xxxx VDM...

Is my junkshop find a Camfield propeller?

Hello! I found this beauty many years ago in a junk store. I know nothing about about her, other than it took three men to move her. From my research the closest I have found similar are the Camfield propellers, but the one in the photo below is not an exact match. The wooden bases taper in...

Curtiss Electric Contra-Rotating Propeller

How it works. Built like a whirling watch piece, but never went into production. A wonderment nonetheless: Curtiss Electric Contra-Rotating Propellers

Synchronized MG fire through propeller arc.

Did the Germans and Japanese use a similar device to synchronize their MG gun fire through the prop arc? Was it a mechanical device (like a cam) or an electrical device (like a distributor)? What about similar Allied applications? Are there any good references for these devices? Thanks! :)

There are two prop manuals from pb43 in the manuals I posted at Some assorted French publications

Attached are some more prop pubs from pb43. The first is the Aeroproducts prop used on the Lockheed L-188 Electra. Finicky buggers to set up but after that virtually trouble free. It was two files but I merged, OCR'd and shrunk them.


Another Aeroproducts prop - for the P-63.
