An international community of specialists reinvented the propeller
during the Aeronautical Revolution, a vibrant period of innovation
in North America and Europe from World War I to the end of World
War II. They experienced both success and failure as they created
competing designs that enabled increasingly sophisticated and
'modern' commercial and military aircraft to climb quicker and
cruise faster using less power. Reinventing the Propeller nimbly
moves from the minds of these inventors to their drawing boards,
workshops, research and development facilities, and factories, and
then shows us how their work performed in the air, both
commercially and militarily. Reinventing the Propeller documents
this story of a forgotten technology to reveal new perspectives on
engineering, research and development, design, and the
multi-layered social, cultural, financial, commercial, industrial,
and military infrastructure of aviation.
