🔍 Key Concepts

• Controllable pitch propeller (CPP) operating modes (manual pitch, constant RPM, combinator/automatic mode) • How CPP control systems can be programmed to optimize engine efficiency and propeller efficiency together • Difference between what is technically possible in a control system vs what is actually a primary design function

💭 Think About

• Think about how a CPP system adjusts pitch and engine speed: can it coordinate both to stay on an efficient operating line for the engine? • Ask yourself whether a CPP control system’s logic is typically aimed at protecting the engine, optimizing thrust, optimizing fuel use, or all of these. • For each statement (I and II), decide: does it clearly describe a realistic, standard feature of CPP control systems, or does it claim more than they are normally designed to do?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each statement, check whether it clearly involves coordinated control of both pitch and engine RPM, not just one or the other. • Verify whether the phrase "maximum combined propeller and engine efficiency" sounds like a standard combinator curve function of CPP systems. • Before choosing, be sure you can justify for yourself whether each individual statement is reasonable based on how CPP systems actually operate.
