propeller

Children have fantasy lives so rich and combustible that rigging them with lies is like putting a propeller on a rocket.

“You think of something military, hostile, weaponized,” not the tiny four-propeller aircrafts used by hobbyists and researchers.

The triangle is “like a rubber band wound up in a toy propeller,” Turner says.

The propeller to be worked by this novel engine was of course his long-idle screw.

It was a fourteen-horse-power engine, water-cooled, and geared with a chain to the propeller.

The next moment the engine began to throb regularly, and the blades of the propeller whirled.

The big propeller-wings began to beat the air, and the sound rose to a keen buzzing.

Swift and straight she flew and suddenly Chet roared to Lance to shut down, and the propeller groaningly stopped.
