We saw this headline from CBC news out of Canada that reminds us that when you hand prop an airplane, you had better know what you’re doing and follow appropriate procedures. The following is an abridged synopsis of the report: An initial investigation While the world is awestruck at the success of the sun-powered plane called Solar Impulse 2, NASA is working on a more efficient, electric-powered plane that has 18 propellers attached to it. As part of NASA's Leading Edge Asynchronous Propellers Washington, March 22 (IANS) While the world is awestruck at the success of the sun-powered plane called Solar Impulse 2, NASA is working on a more efficient, electric-powered plane that has 18 propellers attached to it. As part of NASA's Leading Edge A woman's car was partially shredded by a small plane making an emergency landing in Hawley, Minnesota. The car was swiped by the propeller after the plane's engine failed shortly after taking off from the Hawley Municipal Airport. According to the The left engine started to vibrate and was shut down, and the plane landed safely with emergency crews on standby. A maintenance check revealed that the bird had shredded one of the four propeller blades. A review of Transport Canada incident reports Police believe the pilot attempted to hand-prop the small two-seat plane. As the engine started, the plane gained enough speed to become airborne. No one was injured in a plane crash at a Saskatchewan airport — largely because nobody was in the plane .
The Minnesota State Patrol says the car was sideswiped by the propeller of a small plane forced to make an emergency landing due to engine failure. The plane had just taken off from the nearby, municipal Airport. The plane was headed for Minot, ND An interesting event on Kuda Huvadhoo is a small twin-prop sea plane swooping nearby. An unusual event is seeing the contrails of a large jet at high altitude — they seldom cross the southern atoll. A remarkable event, something the locals relate to us "These propeller aircraft were not always very reliable. If [passengers] knew they'd have to land in Reykjavik to have the engine checked, they'd be happy because they knew they could stock up on booze. It was not uncommon to have passengers come off .
