Abstract

The sharp increase of propeller aircraft has resulted in fatalities and injuries recorded by the CAA over the past 15 years. The aim of the present investigation has been to examine the physiological and psychological factors involved to produce a design of propeller markings, which will ensure that turning propellers are more visible at all RPMs and attract attention ot the hasard without also producing the illusion that the propeller is turning eccentrically. It is resoned to adjust the size of the moarkings so as to show no less than four sectors per balde (two black and two white).
