The document summarizes the forces acting on a propeller, including centrifugal force, torque bending forces, thrust bending force, aerodynamic twisting force, and centrifugal twisting force. It explains that these forces indicate whether a propeller is balanced and airworthy. Aviation safety officers and aircraft technicians check the balance of forces on a propeller to determine if it might break or cause damage due to imbalance.

FORCES ACTING ON A PROPELLER
GOOD MORNING! • WHAT IS IT? • IT IS THE FORCES THAT ACTS ON A PROPELLER THAT ALLOWS THE PROPELLER TO MAKE THRUST.
• WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?
• THE PURPOSE OF THE FORCES ACTING ON A PROPELLER IS IT INDICATES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM ON A PROPELLER OR THE PROPELLER IS NOT AIR WORTHY. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? • WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
• IN CENTRIFUGAL FORCE THE FORCE TRIES TO PULL
PROPELLER AWAY FROM THE HUB. • TORQUE BENDING FORCES EXERT A PRESSURE TENDS TO BEND THE BLADES OPPOSITE THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION • THRUST BENDING FORCE EXERTS A PRESSURE THAT TENDS TO BEND THE PROPELLER BLADE TIPS FORWARD • AERODYNAMIC TWISTING FORCE TENDS TO INCREASE PROPELLERS BLADE ANGLE • CENTRIFUGAL TWISITING FORCE ATTEMPS TO DECREASE BLADE ANGLE BY ALIGNING A PROPELLER’S CENTER OF MASS WITH ITS ROTATION. • WHO PERFORMS THE PROCESS?
• IN CHECKING IF THE PROPELLER’S FORCE IS BALANCE
IT IS CHECKED PROPERLY BY AN AVIATION SAFETY OFFICERS AND AIRCRAFT TECHNICIANS.
• WHY IS THE PROCESS INFORMED?
• TO KNOW THAT IF THE FORCES ACTING ON A
PROPELLER IS INBALANCE THE PROPELLER MIGHT BREAK OR WILL CAUSE DAMAGES.
