VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This striking image highlights one of Fairey Aviation Company's innovative contributions: an aircraft equipped with variable-pitch contra-rotating airscrews (propellers). It claims to be first in the world featuring this technology which allowed for improved performance characteristics such as increased thrust and reduced torque effects on takeoff. Contra-rotating propellers are characterized by two sets of blades rotating in opposite directions on concentric shafts; they provide efficiency gains over traditional single-propeller configurations especially noticeable at higher power settings or when climbing.
