I have been doing alot of reading about props,pitches, and composition matierial, and such one term that keeps popping up is downline braking,, WHAT exactly does that mean?? I have not been able to find a definition or visual example to help me understand what downline braking is... Sorry if its a simple question I just dont know,,and I know plenty of you do and can help me figure it out,,,thanks in advance
BTW, it's something pattern pilots have messed around with for quite some time.
About the only thing you can predict about it is the more diameter or more blade area, the more braking you'll get.
