Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can explain exactly how a prop governor
works for a constant speed prop system? All I know is that the engine
Oil pushes a piston in the prop hub that twists the prop to the
appropriate angle.

most governors work the same way... rotation moves a set of weights
that move a valve that lets oil through.

in case of a single engine plane prop, the governor lets more oil through
as the RPMS go up to rotate the blades and increase pitch.
