performance requirements.

As this is a threaded fastening, let us discuss the reusability of this assembly. In the
screw thread section of the propeller assembly, the external bolt threads are during
assembly with the internal threads of the internal insert screw threads. This clamping
load is applied and supported by the external insert screw threads on the internal screw
threads of the aluminum propeller hub. The geometry of the screw thread is composed of
the angles, lead and circularity features of the screw thread flanks, lead, pitch, and
roundness of the major, minor, and pitch cylinders. The bolt, insert, and hub screw thread
geometries must start and remain in their proper geometric limits 20 Mechanical

if the screw threads are to allow good initial assembly and as importantly, subsequent
removal and reassembly of the propeller during the engine and aircrafts service life. The
reusability will be required to adequately carry significant static and dynamic loads if
reusability is to provide performance that all involved can consider as good reusability
performance. What reusability performance measurement can be employed to measure this
assemblys reusability?

This is an important question. From a practical standpoint, most people
