Dornier propellers

[feoffee2]

Hi

I am just wondering if the Dornier 17z used the same propeller types as the Dornier 17 E/F?

Thanks

I don't think so. According to the photos and scale drawings in my copies of Kagero volume 60 and Classic Publications volume 30 on the Do-17/215, the propellers on the Do-17E thru K variants used one prop, and the radial engined Do-17M through Z variants used a prop of the same 3.6m diameter, but the chord of the blades was wider than those fitted to the earlier variants. There was no mention of this in the text of either publication, but was visible in the photos and on  the front view drawings. Best I can do from my references. BTW, there was no mention of the different props in the William Green Warplanes of the Third Reich, either.

Thanks for your reply.

According to this book, Z and E/F used the 3-blade VDM metal propellers, but differed in the diameter.

Z: 3.6 m

E/F: 3.2 m

This difference also caused engine nacelles moved outside.
