      <title>A SELF-PITCHING PROPELLER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/396743</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A propeller that automatically optimizes its pitch for different shaft and boat speeds is finally available after a decade of patient work to achieve engineering practicability. The product, the Brunton-Weil Autoprop, is described. In anticipation of bigger units to come, the behavior of the Autoprop when used in conjunction with a propeller nozzle is being investigated.]]></description>

      <title>WORLD'S FIRST SELF-PITCHING PROPELLER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/396769</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Brunton-Weil Autoprop, which is the first propeller to have independent, freely pivoting blades that automatically adopt the most efficient pitch whether ahead, astern, or feathered, is described and pictured.]]></description>

      <title>SELF-PITCHING PROPELLER TRIALS PROVE BENEFITS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/401320</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In comparative trials held on the River Hamble, in the UK, the Brunton-Weil self-pitching propeller, known as the Autoprop, came out with top ratings. Using a Moody 'Eclipse 33' motor sailer, the Autoprop's speed, acceleration and crash stop times were compared with those of four other closely-matched propeller types. The manufacturer claims that in certain cases, crash stop times were reduced by more than 50% and acceleration to 6 knots was improved by up to 70%. The Autoprop has independent, freely pivoting blades that automatically adopt the most efficient pitch.]]></description>
