Propeller System:

•› Details:
• › The system’s purpose:
• › Change the power produced by the engine into thrust in order to
propel the aircraft through the air.
• › The propellers used on small PT6A engines vary from three or
four bladed propellers made of metal or composite materials.
• › The propeller system used on all PT6A is of the variable pitch,
single acting type.
• › A propeller governor adjusts the blade angle automatically to
maintain the propeller speed as selected by the pilot.
• › When more power is applied, the angle of attack of the blade is
increased automatically to allow the propeller to absorb the additional energy
without increase in propeller speed.
