  • Heine 200 ps prop

    Hello folks,
    Can someone identify following propeller?
    200PS
    BENZ
    D3000
    St178
    HEINE
    N18765
    Waldmanslust
    Berlin

    On the blade
    Gepruft
    FLZ
    STAND 1390
    And logo HEINE
    PROPELLER
    The propeller is counterclockwise
    Pusher. There are also signs of metal sheeting on the tips fastened with copper nails.
    So what airplane could it be used on?
    Greetings and thanks!!

    Hello Geert,

    Good to hear from you again.

    This prop was used on the Benz BZ IV of 200ps on the DFW CV and CVI. Also, one is recorded on an Alb JI, the trench straffing aircraft.

    With kind regards,

    Bob

      Hello Bob,
      Also nice to hear you again.
      The propeller is a pusher.
      Is this also used on c type airplanes?
      Kind regards,
      Geert

          Gert,

          I don't have any details of a Heine pusher prop for a Benz 200ps engine and I have now added your details to my database, for which many thanks.

          I have 1001 lines of data in my German prop database and only one of those is for a Benz 200ps in a pusher configuration. It was made by Imperial for a Friedrichshafen G II with a diameter of 2900mm and stamped druck.

          With kind regards,

          Bob

            Gert,

            I was beginning to add your information to my database when I noticed that I had already listed it in December 2015, from information on this website which described it as a tractor prop.

            mit freundliche Grüssen!

              Hello Bob
              Thanks for the info.
              Yes the imperial is also one of my propellers.
              So tou think I have 2 Friedriechshafen propellers?
              How lucky is that then???
              Kind regards

                I’m sure it’s a counterclockwise prop.
                The blades have another direction.
                I haven’t been able to find druk or edeldruk on it yet.
                But it’s the same shape like the imperial and also with metal sheeting on the tips.
                So could it be from a friedriechshafen?

                  Hello Geertse,

                  It does seem likely.

                      Gert,

                      I have recorded three Heine pusher props.

                      One on a Gotha G Va 723/17 with a 260ps Mercedes engine, shot down by the French. And a further one for the same engine with the same diameter and pitch, but with no record of the aircraft. D3100 Ft 1750.

                      One on a Gotha G VII prop for a Maybach 260ps engine with D3100 St1950.

                      With kind regards,

                      Bob
