Re: Why Didn't Late Generation LW Fighters Use Four Blade Props?

Hal,
I think that turbo chargers and four bladed propellers both were introduced to increase high altitude performance. The discussion is on propellers and the aspect ratio becomes even more important with altitude. Compare the high aspect ratio wing of the TA-152H, designed for high altitudes.
