History of the Propeller The aircraft propeller looks like a simple
mechanism to the uneducated individual. To the educated, an aircraft
propeller represents the highest sophistication in aerodynamics,
mechanical engineering and structural design. This report will touch
on the history of the propeller, from early pioneers/experiments,
advancement during/after the war, all the way up to current
applications of the propeller. The creation of the propeller can be
traced back to Leonardo da Vinci.

never researched this topic before and feel that
I've benefited from writing it. I enjoyed researching the history of
the propeller and it's contributions to aviation milestones. I've
taken you, the reader, from the early experiments of da Vinci, the
wooden props of the Wright brothers, the design of the variable pitch
propeller, through the advanced concept of the "un-ducted" fan. I hope
this report was as interesting to read as it was to write.
