Alternatively, a constant-speed propeller is one where the pilot sets the desired engine speed , and the blade pitch is controlled automatically without the pilot's intervention so that the rotational speed remains constant. The device which controls the propeller pitch and thus speed is called a propeller governor or constant speed unit.
Feathering of these propellers is performed by the propeller control lever. [14] The constant-speed propeller is distinguished from the reciprocating engine constant-speed propeller by the control system. The turboprop system consists of 3 propeller governors, a governor, and overspeed governor, and a fuel-topping governor. [14]
A 6-bladed Hamilton Standard 568F propeller on an ATR 72 short-haul airliner. Lowry [27] quotes a propeller efficiency of about 73.5% at cruise for a Cessna 172.This is derived from his "Bootstrap approach" for analyzing the performance of light general aviation aircraft using fixed pitch or constant speed propellers.
The momentum theory or disk actuator theory – a theory describing a mathematical model of an ideal propeller – was developed by W.J.M. Rankine (1865), Alfred George Greenhill (1888) and Robert Edmund Froude (1889). The propeller is modelled as an infinitely thin disc, inducing a constant velocity along the axis of rotation.
Same as the IO-360-A1A but set up for operation in an inverted position. Differences include a front-mounted propeller governor, two dry oil sumps, dual external oil scavenge pumps, an oil tank, three options of position for fuel injector mounting and provisions for a constant speed propeller. [4] AIO-360-A1B
