Airscrew/Propellor Data Request

[Hugh_T]

Hi to all - this is my first posting, which unfortunately is a request for information. I would hope that once I have compiled further research on the below noted aircraft that I will be in a position to contribute more effectively.

I have searched high and lo' for blueprints depicting details of airscrew/propellor blades - pertaining to dimensional and cross sectional data, without success.

I would be grateful for resource details to obtain technical information on the airscrew/propellor blades for the following aircraft:

Hawker Hurricane MkI and MkII
Curtiss P40 Kittyhawk or Warhawk.
FW190
Westland Lysander.

Thanking you in advance.

I will do some digging and see what I can find but you may find this link interesting if you havent seen it.

Wow that was quick - only just posted.

Thank you very much - the data in your link is very informative.

Any further help with more technical information would be very much appreciated.

Hi Hugh after consulting my Hawker Hurricane II manual I found that the Diameter of the propeller is 11feet 3 inches.

You may find your info on the Fw-190 here

Thank you again - I have downloaded the FW190 data files - which will be a useful resource later as the project develops.

I came across some 'Reports and Memorandum' files which related to tests for WW1 aircraft and included specifics on Airscrew blades - I had hoped to find similar data for WWII aircraft but no luck there either.

I have also checked manufacturers drawing lists and there is no references to this type of information.

I even purchased some blueprints hoping to find said info - but alas they are of questionable quality and next to being useless!

I even bought a copy of the 'Rotol - The History of an Airscrew Company' which arrived this morning and looks to be an interesting book - but no specific product details.

Hugh, do you have dimensions of FW190 rudder? I have height and length, but not width ( which i realize will change along its height).
Thanks for any help.

11'3" or 11.03'
The WWII Aircraft Performance page has 11.03 in some cases

Do you really think he's still waiting for a answer after almost 4 years ?

Do you really think he's still waiting for a answer after almost 4 years ?

Honeslty, I didn't give that any thought.

Also, since any reply to a thread puts it on the top of the list, that would mean many people would see it and presumably one would respond.
