It's interesting how the props are almost perfectly synchronised. Did that happen just by chance, or is there some kind of automatic synchronisation? Cheers, Indrek Aavisto -- Criticism is easy; achievement is difficult W.S. Churchill |

Perhaps not on turbo-props, IIRC: doesn,t the C-130 & P3 have an auto-sync ? Don,t know about radials.. I know when they are out of sync, its hard on the ears...damned annoying.. |

Seems to a universal thing......... |

Did that happen just by chance, or is there some kind of automatic synchronisation? Chance. Probably happens several times per second. Most multi-engine prop aircraft have some form of auto-synch, which just keeps the props at the same rpm as the "master" - normally switched off during t'off and landing. Some, including C-130s and even a Cessna 340A which I used to fly, have synchro-phasing. This keeps the props in the same phase with each other in a pattern designed to minimise prop noise inside the aircraft by ensuring multiple pressure pulses from the props do not hit the fuselage skin at the same time. That's the theory, anyway :-) -- Mike Mackenzie (AVCOM Services) Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Remove "XYZ" from the "Reply to" address when responding by email. |
