  • SE5A 180HP Hisso prop info

    Hi Everone

    Can anyone provide diamater and pitch specs for prop for 180hp Hisso (direct drive)? Pictures would be nice too.

    Here's some listings for that engine for a SPAD VII:



    I have a listing of British props, but I couldn't find a match for an SE5A with a 180 Hisso. There are several for 150's and 200's as well as for a Wolsely Viper. It's possible the 180 and 200 listings are the same, or a 150 hub might work. If so, here are some possibilities:

    AD 662 D 2400 P 1800 (150 Hisso, SE5 - and actually that's the same pitch and diameter as for the Wolsely, which also fit the SPAD VII)

    AB 765 D 2415 P not given (180 HIsso, SE5)

    AB 7673 D 2414 P 1710 (Wolsely Viper, SE5A)

    And now that I've looked through those listings, I just found this one in a separate list:

    AB 767 D 2414 P1710 (180 Hispano Suiza - English Boss, SE5)

    So, even though they are all actually pretty close, I would guess that the final one would be the best option.

    Here's a picture of an SE5 prop for a 180 built by Curtiss.



    I can measure the diameter if you'd like, but I don't know the pitch.
