Module 17. Propeller

In a single acting propeller, blade angle is increased by

  • counterweights and a feathering spring.
  • CTM.
  • oil pressure.

Azfar asking:

According my notes, i found out that both single and double acting propeller changes the blade angle using oil pressure. Can anyone explain to me why the answer here says counterweights?

Hey Azfar.

You are wrong. Oil is used in both types of props, but in single acting prop oil is used only for angle decreasing.
