Re: Why Didn't Late Generation LW Fighters Use Four Blade Props?
IIRC the Germans almost always selected 4 blades if the fighter had a turbo, e.g., Fw 190 V18/U1 and Bv 155. I seem to recall that some larger types such as the Ju 288 and He 177 also had 4 bladed props for their coupled engines. Then too, the Ju 388 had them, plus a turbo, for their BMW 801Js. Can anyone draw any conclusions from these examples?
