Abstract	This Report presents the results of six-component force and moment measurements on a propeller that was yawed through 120 degrees, for various conditions of blade pitch setting and advance ratio. Force coefficients Cy and Cz, normal to the propeller axis, were found to vary significantly with yaw angle, and had magnitudes that ranged from 1/10 to 1/4 of thrust coefficient Cₓ. All of the moments, (torque, pitching moment, and yawing moment) were pf comparable maximum magnitude. The pitching and yawing moments were directed "nose up" and "nose right" respectively, for clockwise propeller rotation, and positive (nose right) yaw.
