Sale of V-Prop rights to Hoffman propellers
editThis information is a bit WP:OR. I'm afraid. In a telephone call to Silence Aircraft in May 2013, Mattheus Strieker passed on this information. It's hard to get a citation for the time being until Hoffman announce their plans! Arrivisto (talk) 11:21, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
"V-Prop" should be "VProp"
edit"V-Prop" should be "VProp". I propose that we change the name of the page and make the appropriate chnges to the text. Arrivisto (talk) 11:58, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Silence VProp Manual
editThe "Silence VProp Manual" (which is cited as one of the refs) is an illustrated document which used to be a free download from Silence. After VProp production was stopped, the manual was no longer available on the internet. Fortunately, many people, including myself, have saved a copy. Arrivisto (talk) 12:09, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Is it found on the Internet Archive? Also a publisher, date and page number would be helpful to add! - Ahunt (talk) 12:24, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Update
editI have had an email from Hoffman Propellers today, saying:
- "I am sorry to say that the development of the V-Prop is still in process and the V-Prop is not available for sale. The original V-Prop was a two bladed light weight propeller for engine class like Jabiru with approx. 80-100 hp. The current Hoffmann design is a three bladed propeller for engine class like Lyc. 360. Therefore the weight of that prop will be approx. 55 lbs and I think that this is too much (for a light aircraft of 80-100 hp). The development of this V-Prop Hoffmann think about an UL-Version, but this is still in the future." Arrivisto (talk) 12:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
