Windmilling and electrical power
If a prop is feathered and an engine is shut down, will the engine
windmill at all?
I assume that a windmilling prop still turns the engine (i.e., no
clutch disconnects it from the engine, at least on a piston
powerplant). If so, can windmilling drive an alternator enough to
provide useful electrical power?
