Fixed Pitch Propeller #aviation #flight #propeller

The video shows how fixed-pitch propeller efficiency depends on airspeed and angle of attack. Engineers choose propeller types based on tasks like lifting heavy loads or cruising at high speeds. Variable blade angle propellers offer optimal efficiency across different flight conditions.

I've alway felt that the use of a Constant Speed propeller should be a MANDATORY part of every Pilot's training! Let's face it, unless you drop out or quite flying altogether, sooner or later your going to be flying behind a C.S. Prop.

Lindbergh's flight from New York to Paris would have been much safer and quicker if two later inventions had been available just a few years earlier: the NACA speed ring cowling, and the Hamilton counterweight, two-speed propeller. But such was his genius that he did it with the limited technology of the day.

Best way to think of a constant speed propeller is like gears on a bike. Going uphill? Low gear allows you to pedal fast without doing much workload. Level High gear, less rpm faster speed less tiring. It didn’t click for me until my instructor explained this. Doing my ppl ride in a c.s. propeller aircraft

The last part of the video.
I get the heavy loads cuz maybe and I’m also sure that it makes the aircraft slower hence you need a fine pitch propeller cuz the this will increase the blade AoA. I also get the slow airspeed, but why a short runway needs a fine pitch propeller?

No idea what this stuff means but I'm ready for college now
