Do you know the difference between a windmilling prop and one that is feathered? Yes. I also know that not all props have adjustable pitch, and that the fully feathered position on a prop will not necessarily be exactly parallel to the wind. I suppose the question can apply to jet engines as well, but someone I doubt that they would windmill with speed sufficient to generate useful power, and I'm not sure which stage of the engine drives generators, anyway. Obviously windmilling itself is practical, since some aircraft have a tiny deployable windmill specifically for this purpose. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
