#1 is feathered?


Yes.....In the US Navy, we flew patrols with either #1 feathered,
or at lighter weights, both #1 and #4 feathered. Doing this
extended the patrol duration by 1-2 hours. As I recall, we were
restricted to a minimum altitude of 100' with one feathered and
500' with two shutdown.

That is the reason there are no hydraulic pumps or generators on #1.
