This German plane has a propeller… in the middle?

During World War II, Daimler-Benz explored an unconventional fighter concept built around a massive experimental V16 engine. Instead of placing the propeller at the nose or tail, the design mounted ...
Dowty Propellers has signed the Master Contract for its propeller system on the MA700, covering the company’s design, development, production and in-service support for this twin-engine regional ...
Sharrow's extraordinary looped propellers were already some 30% more efficient than traditional designs – and now the company has put two of them together into a coaxial, contra-rotating prop that ...
Could the secret to transforming propeller design lie in the dimples of a golf ball? It might sound far-fetched, but the same aerodynamic principles that allow a golf ball to soar farther and faster ...
