DRIVING DEVICE, PROPELLER, AND PROPULSION SYSTEM
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a propeller, a driving device, and an elastic abutting member sleeve. The propeller includes a blade base, a blade mounted on the blade base, and a first installation foolproof member disposed on the blade base. The driving device includes a main body, a driving shaft rotatable relative to the main body, a locking member disposed on the main body, and a second installation foolproof member disposed on the locking member. The driving device is coupled with the propeller. The elastic abutting member is coupled with the driving shaft and disposed between the main body and the blade base and abuts against the main body and the blade base.

Screw propeller of a pod drive of a vessel and pod drive comprising said screw propeller
The invention relates to the field of shipbuilding and more specifically to the screw propeller for a pod drive of a vessel, particularly an ice-going vessel, providing movement both ahead and astern in icy conditions where the ice is traversable, while also providing steering for the vessel, and to a pod drive comprising said screw propeller. To reduce the weight, and consequently the cost, of the pod drive, the screw propeller comprises a propeller hub, made so that it can be rigidly attached to the conical tailpiece of the propeller shaft, and screw propeller blades, each comprising a blade foil and a blade flange made in one piece, mounted on the propeller hub. The blade foil passes into the blade flange via a fillet joint forming the weakest portion for the possible destruction of the blade in the cross section of its foil, located immediately adjacent to the fillet joint. The outer surface of the blade flange has a profile, in its meridional cross section, curved inwards towards to the propeller axis, to reduce the distance from said blade foil cross section to the propeller axis.

Rotor assembly and method of assembling same
A rotor assembly has a rotor hub having a unitary structure. The rotor assembly further includes a unitary crosshead having a first upper tab and a first lower tab located vertically below the first upper tab. The first upper tab and the first lower tab define a slot therebetween to accept a first pin of the first rotor blade. A second upper tab and a second lower tab located vertically below the second upper tab define a slot therebetween to accept a second pin of the second rotor blade. A first recess is provided between the first lower tab and the second lower tab so that the crosshead comprises no material directly between at least a portion of the first lower tab and the second lower tab along at least one straight path.
PROPELLER
A propeller. The blades of the propeller are characterized by a blade center axis which corresponds to a generator line of a cone to which the blade, or blade thrust surface, conforms. The propeller hub is fixed to the blade at the root, in line with the blade center axis, such that the hub axis and blade center axis lie in the same plane, and the leading edge of the blade is positioned forward (referring to the upstream direction of movement caused by the propeller) of the trailing edge of the blade.

SPARE PROPELLER SUPPORT DOCK WITH EMBEDDED PIN STORAGE
A spare propellor dock configured with a base plate having a bottom planar surface and a center hole configured for mating to a support shaft. The base plate has at least two mounting holes disposed about the base plate allowing mounting of the dock to a planar surface. A support shaft sized to fit through a propellor's hub is coupled to the center hole of the base plate and a top portion with threads for mating to a nut. The shaft and/or base plate has at least one shear pin housing hole, wherein the dock provides both a support mechanism for a propellor and stores a shear pin.
Screw propeller with safety coupling
The present device relates to boatbuilding, and more particularly to screw propellers with safety couplings, intended for use in outboard motors and/or marine screw propellers. A screw propeller with a safety coupling comprises a screw propeller body-cum-hub, a drive coupling, a driven coupling, and a dowel pin. The driven coupling is disposed for rotation on a spacer bushing, said spacer bushing being a tail bushing of the driving coupling. The driven coupling is partially or completely disposed in an opening in the screw propeller body-cum-hub and transmits torque to the screw propeller body-cum-hub by means of a longitudinal dowel pin and/or longitudinal grooves and a spline coupling. A common opening for the dowel pin in the driving and/or the driven coupling is configured as a through opening, and/or the blind end of the opening for the dowel pin is connected by a transverse opening to the outside surface.
