Understand Torsional Vibration in Propeller Drive Systems
More and more, automotive engines are converted for experimental aircraft use. Reduction drives, drive trains and pusher propeller possibly aggravate torsional vibration to dangerous levels. A report about torsional vibration is re published to create awareness with current experimental aircraft builders and to enhance experimental aviation safety.Buedelsdorf, Germany - January, 2006 - In republishing a report called "Propeller Drive Systems and Torsional Vibration", experimental aircraft builder Hans Zwakenberg seeks to create awareness for potentially dangerous experimental aircraft power packages.
Said Hans Zwakenberg: "An increasing number of experimental aircraft take to the air powered by a converted automotive engine. These engines are high-revving, which is detrimental for propeller efficiency. This is why reduction drives are introduced, to lower the propeller RPM to more efficient levels. Reduction drives change the behavior of the power package entirely. Each the engine, reduction drive and propeller have their own natural vibration frequencies. In case there is a coupling between them, the ensuing resonance will wreak havoc with the power package.
Consulting with other home builders, little information could be found. The local libraries only provided academic publications that weren't all that accessible. A report found on the Internet filled in the gaps."
"Propeller Drive Systems and Torsional Vibration" was written by Donald P. Hessenaur a few decades ago. This report will give you greater insight in how engine, reduction drive and propeller influence each other, sometimes with devastating side effects.

Hans Zwakenberg is building an IBIS canard experimental aircraft. What he learns on the way to completion is published on his project web site (http://ibis.experimentals.de/) in order to pass on knowledge to other builders:
