"Jim Carriere" wrote Not that I know (because I don't know), but it doesn't make sense that titanium would be an unsuitable material. Gas turbines using titanium alloy compressors have been around for, well, decades. Sort of an apples and oranges comparison, but still... Two big differences, as I see it. One, props on piston engines receive massive power pulses, which are almost like stop and go, every 1/3rd to 1/2 rotation. A gas turbine blade has no pulses going to it; constant power and constant rotation. Two, the turbine blade is very short and wide, compared to the long slender prop. -- Jim in NC
