Re: Engine problems with P-51 "Mustang"
Like the majority of single engine aircraft, the P-51 did not have the ability to feather the prop.
A completely stopped prop would be caused by internal engine failure or seizure. Perhaps loss of oil, oil pressure, loss of coolant until overheat, mechanically breaking a rod or crankshaft, etc..
A completely stopped propeller would cause less drag than a windmilling propeller.
