Hey Everyone,

Looking at the PHAK (CH 5-3) it explains why the propeller itself is twisted.

It goes on to say how if the prop had the same angle of incidence throughout the length of the blade the portion near the hub would have a negative angle of attack while the blade tip would be stalled.

I can't picture how this happens. Does anyone have a good explanation or drawing that can explain this? Thanks-Matt
