This sounds to me like it could lead to an asocial bitter and unhappy
adulthood. Try this, the next time you see someone exhibiting this behavior you speak of, go right up to them and give them a BIG hug! Let me know how it works out. I care.

Todd In the later 30's was in control line racing (60 size, class D). I built several one bladed props used to win some contests. I turned the McCoy 60 over 20K with these props. They could probably make a satisfactory one bladed prop today but it would have to be longer and/or wider than a two blade and then probably best on a racing bird not run of mill GA.

Regardless the dubius advantage of biting into clean air, the problems associated with the unbalanced thrust produced by the single blade spinning around, despite it being counter balanced weightwise, are for all practical purposes insurmountable. The prop tries to rip the engine out of it's mounts all the way around. The imbalance is pretty much impossible to dampen out and results in monumental vibration. I was looking at the issue from the theoreticalaerodynamic sense and whether 15" of separation is enough. I agree there are lots of practical difficulties with single blade thrust, but that does not mean they are insurmountable in all cases. It's not unusual to see them on indoor model aircraft where efficiency is particularly critical and the "unbalanced thrust" is low and less of a problem. I wasn't trying to say that one bladed props are practical or more desirable, but it seems likely to me that the aerodynamics of a single blademake it more efficient. Design is always a trade-off and I have serious doubts that the extra efficiency is worthwhile in any normal application.

Mistake number one. Almost any serious bicyclist is not going to let some buss driver with or without training load their bicycle. You don't play around with bikes of this class just like you don't walk up and pick up some musicians axe. (Guitar) I don't think they want individual riders standing in the street, in front of an idling bus, fiddling with a bike rack that may already contain one (or more) other bikes. shrug That's how it works here - you're expected to load/unload your own bike; the drivers will help if you ask, though. And yes, the racks get used, 365 days of the year. In this regard, I agree with them. The liability insurance issue here would be even worse than it already is. I'm in Canada; we have (marginally) saner lawyers, I guess. In any case, nobody's died or sued yet, that I know of. Brian. |
