Module 17. Propeller

The most significant effect of stone chips on a propeller is

  • thrust output of the propeller.
  • structural integrity of the propeller.
  • aerodynamic capability of the propeller.

Explanation

Stone chips create small notches that act as stress raisers and can initiate fatigue cracks, so their most significant effect is on the structural integrity of the propeller rather than a minor change in thrust or aerodynamics. This is why chips must be blended out within limits.
