Variable Pitch Propeller
The pitch propellers for marine propulsion are designed to give greater
propulsion efficiency in a wide range of speeds and load conditions. When a
ship is fully loaded, the driving power required at a given speed is much higher
than when empty. By adjusting the inclination of the blades, it can obtain the
VARIABLE PITCH
PROPELLER
A variable pitch propeller is a type of propeller blades and which can rotate around its
long axis to change the angle of attack. If this angle can be positioned in negative values,
the propeller can also create a reverse thrust for braking or reverse without changing the
direction of shaft rotation.
