Re: Why Didn't Late Generation LW Fighters Use Four Blade Props?
I seem to recall this topic came up before, some time ago. The upshot was it is blade width versus number of blades. The Germans opted to make the blades of their props wider, while the Allies (mostly) chose to increase the number of blades.
Thats a radical oversimplification I'm sure, but that is the essense of it. I'm sure others will flesh that out a bit......
