  • Niendorf of Luckenwalde

    Hello all.

    I am off to view a propeller. It was made by Niendorf Propellerwerke, Luckenwalde.

    The hub markings are as follows:

    178ps MERC

    274D 195ST

    Edulzug

    13546

    I recognise what the annotations mean, my question is: Can anyone identity the application? It has been ventured that it is for a Fokker D VII but I am not so sure.

    Sorry, no pictures at this time but I will take some when I inspect.

    Regards
    John

    Hopefully, Bob will drop in to opine on this one as well.

    Just at face value, I'm ALWAYS skeptical of the claim that a propeller is from a specific airplane when the airplane is symbolic of a war or an era or a famous person, etc. Some of the claims I've heard along the way even defy imagination . . .

      Not much help from me, I'm afraid. I have recorded two other props by this maker with similar dimensions but the aircraft is not identified.

      Fok D VII props had a diameter and pitch around 280cm and 210cm, although the diameter could vary between 270-280 and the pitch between 205 and 220.

      This version of the Mercedes engine is recorded on the Albatros D V and the D Va but the dimensions are not known.

      With kind regards,

      Bob
