Abstract

The object of this investigation was to measure the performance of the Falke with several different propeller and engine configurations, and hence to deduce the drag coefficients of the propeller and the engine cooling system...  The main conclusion is that a fethering or folding propeller is highly desireable on motor gliders, especially those of high performance...
