feoffee2 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hi I am just wondering if the Dornier 17z used the same propeller types as the Dornier 17 E/F? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 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. Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junchan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 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 Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
