Propeller Animation
This very quick video I made is the pitch changing mechanism animation of the PC-6 propeller.
On this example, blade angle is initially in the " in flight Low Pitch Stops " position of +09°30' and smoothly going to a coarser pitch, +86°30' ( Fully Feathered ).
I'll eventually write a good article about propellers in general, constant speed fundamentals, reverse operation, α and β ranges operation etc etc.. Then you'll see that a propeller is MUCH more than blades that are held in a hub !
Hope you enjoy !
