finer propeller pitch and higher engine speed.
coarse propeller pitch and lower engine speed.
finer propeller pitch and lower engine speed.
The counterweights produce a centrifugal twisting moment, but because they are positioned at 90° to the chord line, they tend:
to move the blades to coarse pitch.
to move the blades to fine pitch.
to move the blades to extra fine pitch.
