• Propeller Aircraft

  In a propeller plane, the engine exerts a force, which causes the blades to rotate. The blades which make up the propeller, are mainly made of aluminum or a composite material to allow them to withstand the excessive forces on them. Many of the smaller planes use a single-piece, two-blade propeller.
