12.72.4 Explain the reason for blade (or helical) twist.

12.72.4. Explain the reason for blade (or helical) twist.

The helical twist (which is) the reduction in blade angle from hub to tip is
– to gain the most efficient angle of attack along its whole length at airspeed and rpm
– higher rotational velocity towards the tip of the blade will reduce the angle of attack

12.72.2(d) angle of attack.

12.72.2(d) . angle of attack. 

This is the angle between the chord line of the blade section and the relative airflow

12.72.2(c) helix (or pitch) angle;

12.72.2(c) . helix (or pitch) angle; 

The angle between forward rotational velocity vector and the plane of rotation of the propeller blade is Helix / Pitch angle

12.72.2(b) blade angle;

12.72.2(b) . blade angle; 

The angle which the chord – line of a propeller section makes with the plane of rotation is the propeller blade angle
