Re: Why Didn't Late Generation LW Fighters Use Four Blade Props?
I know next to nothing about aerodynamics. But from what I can gather fewer blades with the same surface area give a better climb rate but more blades increase level fight speed. It would explain the 3 on a 152(interceptor)and the 4 on the p-51 (escort).Also the most efficent prop is with 1 blade but you try balancing it!!!!!!!!
Can an expert confirm this?
