Five classes o f aircraft arc defined in r eference 1, and the p r opeller categories that 1 correspond to each are as follows: category I - fixed pitch; category II - con s tant speed; category III- constant speed, full feather, deicing (for light twin engine air- .... craft); category IV - constant speed, full feather, deicing (for medium twin engine _ aircr_'t); category V - constant speed, full feather, deicing, rever s e. Comparison of calculated design weights of a low tip speed 1980 technology propeller in each of .... categories II, IV and V with equation weights revealed sufficient discrepancy to make : eq ua tion weight suspect ove r a wide tip sp e ed r ange. As a r esult, this study was :.

' conducted to refine the generalized weight equation to provide reasonable accuracy for propellers encompassing a wide range of tip speeds.

Th e s ub-as s emblie s included b l ade s , blade retentions, barrel, hitch c hange dome and mechanism and f l uid.

The m o dified gene r aliz e d w eight equa ti o n wi th v a r iati o ns in constan t s and exponents for the five a i rcraft cat e g o ries is sh o wn o n Table II. The s i gnif i cant m o difi- cati o ns to the equation are: (1) in c r e as e d value of the activity fact o r exp o nent in categ o r i es I m_d II reflecting the greater p r oporti o n o f blade we i ght in t o tal weight of the simpler prop e llers_ (2) de c reased vahm o f the tip spe e d exponent in all categ o r i es and (3) th e addition of exp o nents t o the counterwe i ght equati o n f o r greate r ac c uracy .

A c o mpa ri s o n summary of r ep r esentatiw_ 1.0 7 0 ac t ual p ro peller w eights ve r sus weights c alculated from the gen o rMlzed equation is shown in Table III. A summary of 1980 prop e ller calculated w e ights versus generalized equation weights is shown in Table I , It can be seen from Tabl e s I and III thaI; generally there is v e ry good agr e e - m e nt b o tweenweights computed by the weight gen e ralization equation and the actual w e t ghts.

Th e revised w e ight g e neralization deviates the furthest from the previous w e ight generMlzation for c ategory ll propellers since as was shown on Table X in r e feren c e 1, the gen e ralization was the weakest for that classification. Therefore, the weights and coasoquently the costs for the s e nsitivity studies for category II (r_f. 1) s hould be significantly higher. Furthermore , the weight _md cost versus tipspeed curves should have less slope for M1 five categories.

I n th e p r e v ious s tudy ( r ef. 1 ) a g en e r ali ze d c os t e qu ation was de r i v ed which is a functi o n o f pr o pell e r weight.

A comparison of the c o st s b a sed o n the s e defi n ed by the w ei ght generaliz a tion a n d those on the d es ig n cost we re made and tab u lated on Table XIII (r e f . 1). Th e ag r eement b e tween the two sets of cost s rang e d fr o m 6 % low to 21 % h i gh. Th e c o sts baseu on the weight equation we re recalculated due to th e revi s ed w e ight e quat io n and a similar compari s on wa s made. An inspe c ti on of Table IV s h o w s th a t the c o st s computed with the generalized cost eq u ation now agree from 7 to 1 5% low and thu s the c ost compar i son has been significantly i mpr o v e d .
