Part B: Marking and Assessment (to be completed by Module Lecturer) This assignment will be marked out of 100% This assignment contributes to 100% of the total module marks. This assignment is non- bonded. A hard copy of this assignment should be handed in to the Module Leader, and a soft copy uploaded to Turnitin by the due date and time. NEXT PAGE BELOW Assessment Task: Propeller Systems & Design 1) Analyse the design features and systems required to accommodate a propeller fitted to a large single piston engine tail-wheel aircraft producing around 2000 HP and flying at a maximum speed of 440 mph, and compare this to the propeller fitted to a single piston engined tricycle undercarriage aircraft producing 100 HP and flying at a maximum speed 140 mph. 2) Analyse the features and systems required in the design of a propeller system that is to be fitted to a twin turbo-prop tricycle undercarriage aircraft being designed for STOL operations in an arctic environment. Include in your answers any propeller theory and any airframe design considerations that may be needed to accommodate the propeller. 3) Conclusion Your report should be approximately 2500 words (+/- 10%) and contain relevant images and real life examples where possible. All images and the entire report must be referenced using the Harvard method. NEXT PAGE BELOW Learning Outcomes to be assessed (as specified in the validated module descriptor): To demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of propeller fundamentals.
