Hi everyone!
A question to ones who has played with adjustable turboprops a lot.
I have to make a turboprop optimised to high speed, with around 6-7 K Hp, and the constraint that it uses throttle to operate pitch (with throttle governor on).
so - this way i need to set neutral pitch to 0 as otherwise it starts moving right from the start. What is the best pitch range setting?
also, is it possible to turn engines off with AG if throttle governor is engaged? How?
Thanks!
@Delphinus iknow) i ask whether anybody has found the optimal setting of pitch adjustment range(
@Delphinus @t8erh8er , do i get you right, you mean 80% setting for a fixed pitch? Well, i'm doing a variable pitch prop, and have no other choice than make a 0% neutral pitch (othervise, it moves even when throttle is 0%), the question is about the range of pitch adjustment when pitch is variable, but not automatic.
@t8erh8er well, there is also an option with variable pitch, where pitch is adjusted by throttle position and the engine power is controlled automatically.
