  Figure 7-11] The blade angle cannot be changed after the propeller is built. Generally, this type of propeller is one piece and is constructed of wood or aluminum alloy. Fixed-pitch propellers are designed for best efficiency ... aircraft use fixed-pitch propellers and the advantages of these are less expense and their simple operation. This type of propeller does not require any control inputs from the pilot in flight. Test Club Propeller A test club is used…

  propeller systems. Larger transport and cargo turbo prop aircraft use propeller systems with dual or double-acting governors and differential oil pressure to change pitch. Some types of propeller systems are beyond the scope of this text, but several propellers ... described. Fixed-Pitch Wooden Propellers Although many of the wood propellers were used on older aircraft, some are still in use. The construction of a fixed-pitch, wooden propeller is such that its blade pitch cannot be changed after manufacture…
