How did machine guns fire through the propeller arc without breaking the propeller, on a single prop airplane?
That's interesting. How did the synchronization work exactly?
The synchronization worked by connecting the machine gun to the aircraft's engine through a series of gears and shafts. This system, known as a gun synchronizer, ensured that the gun only fired when the propeller was out of the way. Specifically, the gun could only fire when the propeller blade was in a certain position such that the bullet wouldn't hit it.
