Traditional or nosewheel, the XCubs are now available as kits. The post Home-Rolled XCub appeared first on KITPLANES.

He did not have a lot of experience in the make and model airplane, so he hired the accident pilot to conduct the first ...

I flew both aircraft with Gérald Ducoin, test and demonstration pilot for Robin Aircraft. We started with ‘Delta Kilo’. This 160hp Lycoming version has its propeller pitch and wing profile midway ...

They may have just a half-dozen models of propeller altogether, perhaps one for Gipsies, two for small and bigger Continentals, two for Lycoming O-320s and O-360s, and one for all Volkswagens. If ...

The image of the HondaJet being lifted out of the waters of Coos Bay, Oregon, filled the screens of the national news on March 7, 2025. This was just one of four additional runway excursions ...

The pitch of the blades is the angle at which they "bite" into the air. On airplanes with a fixed-pitch propeller, engine rpm (revolutions per minute) is the primary power gauge.

Known as a Propeller Speed Reduction Unit (PRSU), these gearboxes frequently see use on especially high-RPM applications like ultralights, or high-horsepower piston aircraft like classic fighters.

However, it is still not quite fast enough to fly. In the few seconds it takes to rotate the nose up toward the initial climb angle, the continued acceleration will take the speed to V2. V2. V2 is ...

The Wright brothers’ inventive work produced three major accomplishments. The Aircraft - The aircraft the Wrights designed and built between 1900 and 1905 were truly revolutionary, incorporating ...

In the aviation industry, a short landing distance for aircraft is quite important which may broaden the usage of it. For a propeller-driven aircraft, variable pitch propeller (VPP) is widely used to ...
