This is the sixth in a series of variations on Chris Palmer's Flower Tower. It was made using the decreeping technique devised by Jeremy Shafer and Chris Palmer.
Folded from 8.5 inch (22cm) square printer paper, no cuts.
Detail of the propeller, which could be disconnected and folded up when driving on land.
This unique amphibious scout vehicle was used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. Apart from its "hull," it shared many of the essential features of early Volkswagen air-cooled vehicles.

1) Hinged-Blade Research Propeller
This ten-foot experimental propeller was ground-tested at McCook Field for the US Navy. Built by Paragon Engineers Inc., it was designed with hinged blades to permit it to adapt to changes in air pressure.
2) Micarta Controllable Pitch Propeller
This nine-foot propeller has "Bakelite Micarta" blades counterbalanced to permit their pitch to be changed in flight. Designed by McCook Field engineers for testing with the Wright-built 180-hp Hispano-Suiza engine, it was tested in 1922 at McCook field, but was not successful.
3) Olmstead High Efficiency Propeller
This unusual 9-foot propeller was designed in 1918 by Olmstead Laboratories and tested at McCook Field. It was intended for possible use on the Loening M-8 aircraft before the Air Service decided not to order the M-8 into production.
4) Curtiss Reed Propeller
Produced in the mid-1920s, this ten-foot aluminum alloy propeller was unique because its blades were mechanically twisted during manufacture to provide the necessary angle for thrust. PW-8 aircraft with Curtiss D-12 engines used this kind of propeller.
This beautiful B-26 (A20) rests at the VFW in El Reno, OK. Here's what the writing on the side of the plane says:

Another view of the folding propeller assembly and the simple fitting that coupled it to the engine when used in water.

This colourful propeller was seen on an aeroplane at the AAD2012 Exhibition (Africa Aerospace & Defence 2012 Exhibition & Airshow)
I thought it was really cool and eye-catching!
(L-1892): The PRT’s size is clearly evident in this classic photograph of Elton W. Miller, one of the PRT’s designers, standing in the tunnel’s entrance cone to inspect a Sperry M-1, the first airplane tested in the new facility. Note how the plane’s wings have been cropped, a practice that was soon seen as unnecessary and largely abandoned.

I don't like to post pictures of people I don't know, but I liked the way this turned out, especially the floor texture. Taken at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, AZ and enhanced in Topaz Adjust.
Propeller in HDR and wide angle. Taken at Inverness Marina on a cold, windy, grey day.

Pegasus VXIII engine and propeller from Hampden I P2123 of 44 Squadron, Waddington. On 1st September 1040, when returning from an early raid on Berlin, the aircraft ran out of fuel and ditched in the sea off Salthouse, Norfolk. Pilot P/O Romans DFC and crew paddled ashore safely. Engine recovered July 1975
Plastic propeller on a wooden base, attached by Velcro to my bike helmet. It's not powered or propelled; it just spins in the breeze. Originally inspired by Val and her Viking horns.
This WWII shipwreck, which turned turtle in shallow water, offers a multitude of photo opportunities, from the surface, all the way down to the bow at 110 feet. Here, I straddled the Propeller Shaft like I was riding a horse, to get this shot.
The propeller of the Mugami Maru, a Japanese WWII wreck in 55 m near Malapascua island in the Philippines.

These are images of a WW1 propeller, probably from a Sopwith Camel of 45 Squadron RFC. It belonged to Major John Charles Bradley Firth RFC, 45 Squadron, Western and Italian fronts 1917-1918. An NCO of the squadron, Corporal J Willey, painted these examples of trench art in his spare time for squadron pilots.They date roughly to the Ypres Offensive in October 1917.
