Hi all,

May i know anyone here have been involve in aircraft propeller balancing before? i was requested to do test on aircraft propeller static & dynamic balancing using Bruel & Kjaer vibration equipment. May i know anyone have any experience with it and mind to share with me? thanks

Hey atleast some one knows where i can or how i can make a very simple but quite efficient propeller? PLEASE!
 
Strobe light, crayon/chalk, and a camera.

I've seen a strobe type car wheel spin balancer taken apart and repurposed for this.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
