KATHMANDU – The propeller blades of the Yeti Airlines ATR 72-500 plane that crashed in January were in the feathered position, which caused the aircraft to lose thrust and fall, a preliminary ...

Now, feathering a windmilling aircraft can gain some distance for it, feathering a powered and spinning propeller will reduce thrust. The preliminary report shows that the engines didn't have ...

The loss of engine power on one side creates asymmetrical thrust, similar to the way ... the pilot will not be able to feather the propeller, which can lead to drag that results a loss of control.

The 'first generation' jet engine put out about 1,600lbs of thrust at sea level ... slowly pull away from the other aircraft with a feathered prop! The whole event seemed magical to those ...

It says this is consistent with both propellers feathering, and no longer generating thrust. The feather setting for the ATR 72 is on the condition lever, which is situated immediately to the left ...

While the throttle levers slightly advanced at this point, the inquiry states: “When propellers are in feather, they are not producing thrust.” The ATR’s bank angle reached a maximum of 30 ...

With two engines at or near feather position, it means the whole right side of the plane was not providing any thrust. It’s less complicated than it sounds. Picture those big propellers.

One pilot changed the propeller ... propellers had been feathered, the investigators concluded, citing factors including a high workload and stress. The plane then lost thrust, stalled, crashed ...

A: The propeller is rotated so that the prop wash (thrust) is directed forward. There are two advantages for the propeller aircraft. When the propeller is flattened out from the flight idle ...

They've developed a vectored thrust propeller system that lets the drone make tighter turns, take off quickly and otherwise fly in areas where it would normally be too dangerous. And unlike jet ...
