No matter what its source, excessive vibration can lead to a number of problems. The rotational speeds and aerodynamic loads imposed in flight on a propeller make it susceptible to vibration if it has even the slightest imbalance.Įxcessive vibration can come from an aircraft’s engine, propeller, spinner or a combination of all three. Depending on the model, propeller blades weigh anywhere from a few ounces to several pounds. Luckily, computerized dynamic propeller balancing is a cost-effective route to help dampen those pesky vibrations.Īircraft propellers are manufactured to be durable, strong and able to absorb the stresses of flight. Vibration can also cause pilot and passenger fatigue.
Vibration can originate from an aircraft’s engine, propeller or spinner, and if unchecked, can lead to further mechanical problems. Feeling a bit shaky when you’re flying (and tired when you land)? It might not be your nerves but rather the side effects of excessive vibration.
