PROPELLER, INTEGRAL GEARBOX MODEL 73EGB1 AND PROPELLER, VARIABLE CAMER MODEL VC86260 FLIGHT TEST REPORT

Abstract

A 50 hour flight test was conducted on both the 73EGB1 and VC86260 propellers. These tests were conducted on the B-17G test bed aircraft which was removed from long time storage and reconditioned. A 73EGB1 gearbox was modified to a shaft configuration for use in the VC6260 propeller flight test. Development tests and a 50 hour engine ;FRT were conducted on this gearbox. Both test propellers and gearboxes were assembled primarily from hardware used in development testing programs on the 73EGB1 and VC86260 propellers. In general, both propellers performed satisfactorily during their respective tests.
