NOTES

Title from title frames

Apply concepts of lift and drag to propulsion, focusing on the internal combustion engine and propeller - still the most efficient power plant for aircraft flying at low speeds. Study the four-cycle engine and the design of propellers, which are rotating wings twisted to present an optimum angle of attack across their entire length
