The axial fan is often contained within a short section of cylindrical ductwork, to which inlet and outlet ducting can be connected. Axial fan types have fan wheels with diameters that usually range from less than a foot (0.3 meters) to over 30 feet (9.1 m), although axial cooling tower fan wheels may exceed 82 feet (25 m) in diameter.

Diagram of a fan disk Fan disk assembly diagram, showing one blade and attachment hardware Cross section of fan disk Failed fan disk recovered from the center engine of UAL 232. A fan disk is the central hub of a fan in a turbofan engine. Fan blades are attached to the fan disk, which is rotated by a shaft driven by a gas turbine. [1]
An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. The fan is designed to produce a pressure difference, and hence force, to cause a flow through the fan. Factors which determine the performance of the fan include the ...
Subsequent research in the US focused on the use of a crossflow fan inset into the wing upper trailing edge, as the primary driver for boundary layer control and jet flap propulsion. [ 3 ] More recently, several unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) projects have explored the potential of distributed propulsion to offer noise abatement, fuel efficiency ...
A wooden disk attached to the propeller is used to indicate where each round passes through the propeller arc. A synchronization gear (also known as a gun synchronizer or interrupter gear ) was a device enabling a single-engine tractor configuration aircraft to fire its forward-firing armament through the arc of its spinning propeller without ...

A propeller imparts momentum to a fluid which causes a force to act on the ship. [1] The ideal efficiency of any propulsor is that of an actuator disc in an ideal fluid. This is called the Froude efficiency and is a natural limit which cannot be exceeded by any device, no matter how good it is.
