The six blades are of hollow steel and are mounted in two sets of three blades each, one set behind the other, on coaxial shafts. The two sets of blades swinging in opposite directions counteract the torque. Controls for the new propeller are similar to those of other constant-speed, full-feathering propellers now manufactured. The principle of the counter-rotating blades is not new. It has long been recognized as a means of getting propellers to absorb efficiently the enormous horsepower of the big engines of today and particularly those of tomorrow which require large blade area.

Counter-rotating propellers were built some years ago, but the problem remained to develop a dual rotating propeller in which the pitch of the blade, or angle at which the blade bites into the air, can be changed to accommodate various flight conditions. With the conventional propeller this is similar to the automatic gear shirt on automobiles. This new propeller, the world's first dual rotation, controllable-pitch assembly has six blades, three rotating in one direction and three in another. Developed by industry after several years of research, these propellers are being delivered to the Army Air Forces to make America's fast high-altitude fighting planes still faster and their operation smoother. Designed especially for giant 2,000 horsepower engines, the new propeller will add approximately 5 to propeller efficiency of planes having a speed of more than 400 Phone 664 Night or Day Prompt!
