Working Charts for the Selection of Aluminum Alloy Propellers of a Standard Form to Operate with Various Aircraft Engines and Bodies
A 1931 NASA technical report, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, with working charts for choosing standard aluminum alloy propellers to suit various aircraft engines and fuselages. Its pictures pair graphs of propeller performance curves with photographs of wind-tunnel test models and full aircraft mounted on stands and parked on grass. A designer could take from them the clean grid-and-curve chart style and the sleek, streamlined silhouettes of early aircraft.
