the blade is twisted to give the same pitch at different radiuseseses.
the twist is something fixed in the shape of the prop blade, I'm aware of that - by "twist" in this circumstance I mean the total pitch changes due to the constant speed unit. Rotate - as you have used - would be a better choice. What I am confused about is why some texts talk about "taking a bigger bite of air" as if the PITCH angle is what causes thrust rather than the ANGLE OF ATTACK. I was under the (mistaken) impression that the AoA was kept the same over the operating range of the CSU, but have been told this is not the case. |
