Inboard propellors of a B-17G 'Flying Fortress' a WW-II heavy bomber on display this week at the Fargo Air Museum. This B-17 is painted as quot;Sentimental Journeyquot;.
The Hamilton Standard 3-bladed propellers are hydromatically controlled with constant-speed and full feathering provisions. Adjustment of the propeller governors is accomplished individually by cable controls from the cockpit. Feathering and unfeathering is accomplished hydraulically by an electric motor-driven pump mounted on the forward side of the firewall in each engine nacelle. -manual
