Patent number: 11845532Abstract: Embodiments provide a propeller ground stop mechanism configured to keep an unpowered propeller of an aircraft (e.g. when the aircraft is on the ground and not operating) static. The propeller is prevented from rotating due to external forces (e.g. an air flow caused by wind, manual rotation of the propeller). When the propeller is powered, and the propeller is providing thrust, the propeller ground stop mechanism automatically disengages and does not provide any drag. Among various benefits, the propeller ground stop mechanism provides added safety to the ground support personnel.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Wisk Aero LLCInventors: Geoffrey Alan Long, Pieter DePape
