41 High velocity propeller US492819 1995-06-20 US5810288A 1998-09-22 William F. Sager
A propeller for fluid propulsion (such as air or water) comprises a pair of substantially rigid blades. The blades are mounted for rotation about respective, separate, parallel rotation axes, with the axes being also substantially parallel to the longest dimension of the blades. The blades each define a plate that is oppositely helically twisted along the longest blade dimension compared with the other blade. The blades are positioned together in synchronously opposite, rotatable condition, with the rotating blades passing by each other in closely spaced relation without physical contact. A tubular housing encloses the rotating blades in closely-spaced relation between the housing and blades. Such a blade system can provide a high velocity jet of large mass at relatively low rotational speed.

57 Method for controlling an aircraft propeller system during thrust reversal US14934631 2015-11-06 US09623958B2 2017-04-18 Miguel Angel Martin Moreno; Eva Carlon Ortiz; Manuel Silvestre Salas; Vincent Lamonzie
The present invention refers to a method for controlling an aircraft propeller system during thrust reversal, wherein it is checked whether each power plant is ready for the transition to negative pitch, and where the propellers transition to negative pitch is controlled from a flight control system, such as only when both power plants are ready for the transition to negative pitch, the flight control system instructs the aircraft propeller system to reverse thrust. If a power plant failure is detected before a reversal order is received, then the flight control system is informed of that failure condition, and then the flight control system will disable the thrust reversal operation as long as the failure condition remains. The method of the invention improves the aircraft controllability during landing operations, reduces pilot workload, and improves passenger comfort during landing and taxing.
