Spurred by Curtiss-Wright’s success, Hamilton Standard last week revealed that it too has a full-feathering prop. Worked by hydraulic pressure, the Hamilton blade has been ordered in small ...

Like Dewhirst, McConeghey said an auto-feather system should have allowed the propeller on the failed engine to streamline the blades to line up with the air flow.

RELATED: NTSB releases preliminary report on fiery B-17 bomber crash at Bradley Airport A “feather” position is a feature of some propeller-driven planes like the B-17.

Propeller speed increased to 102%, before falling, while the blade pitch reached a point possibly close to the feather position.

Adafruit’s PropMaker Feather is a microcontroller board designed specifically for building props with electronic features. Thus, what better way to show it off than by building a nifty replica ...

In feathering, blades are turned so that the leading edges are pointed essentially in the direction of flight. In this position, aerodynamic forces on the propeller result in a low drag condition.

However, the right-hand propeller was put into the "feather" position - a manoeuvre in which the blade is adjusted to prevent further damage and to minimise drag.
