OK, for others too! Now answering my own question, and this video did it.
In short: with the constant speed,
- you are setting the RPM, i.e. the desired RPM of the prop
- the governor sets the pitch using the flywheels
Now it makes sense.
So,
- the engine RPM stays constant,
- the [governor...
I have the books, just looking for additional clarifications, as the books and the GS material from four separate sources aren't covering every aspect. Hence the YT video, this one.
So, from your reply, I get that some of them are fixed pitch, no governors in them.
So, the specific question is...
Hi all,
So, a question: I watched a YT video on the Propellers. As I hear, all props are constant speed, some have a selectable pitch. Correct?
If yes, an aircraft with a variable pitch, (constant speed) propeller, set to fine pitch, accelerates down the runway, the
1. RPM would stay...
