2. Variable pitch fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_pitch_fan

   A variable pitch fan is similar in concept to that of a variable-pitch propeller and involves progressively reducing the pitch (or blade angle) of the fan on a turbofan as the engine is throttled. Although variable pitch fans are used in some industrial applications, the focus of this article is on their use in turbofan engines .

3. Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-pitch_propeller...

   A constant-speed propeller is a variable-pitch propeller that automatically changes its blade pitch in order to maintain a chosen rotational speed, regardless of the operational conditions of the aircraft. This is achieved by use of a constant-speed unit (CSU) or propeller governor, which automatically changes the propeller's blade pitch.

4. Industrial fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_fan

   Variable pitch axial fans – The blades on these axial fans are manually adjustable to permit the blade angle to be changed. This allows operation over a much wider range of volume/pressure relationships. The blades are adjusted periodically to optimize efficiency by matching the blade pitch to the varying conditions for the application.

5. Propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_(aeronautics)

   A fan is a propeller with a large number of blades. A fan therefore produces a lot of thrust for a given diameter but the closeness of the blades means that each strongly affects the flow around the others. If the flow is supersonic, this interference can be beneficial if the flow can be compressed through a series of shock waves rather than one.

6. Aircraft engine controls - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_controls

   In adjustable-pitch propeller control system, the pilot has to adjust the propeller pitch angle and thus angle of attack of the propeller blades (typically with a lever) to achieve the desired propeller rotational speed. The increased pitch (blade angle of attack) increases the load on the engine and therefore slows it down, and vice versa.

7. Ground-adjustable propeller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-adjustable_propeller

   A ground-adjustable propeller is a simple type of aircraft variable-pitch propeller where the blade angle can be adjusted between pre-set limits of fine and coarse pitch. [1] As its name implies, a ground-adjustable propeller may be adjusted only when the aircraft is on the ground and when the engine is not running.
