  2. Blade pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_pitch

    Blade pitch is measured relative to the aircraft body. It is usually described as "fine" or "low" for a more vertical blade angle, and "coarse" or "high" for a more horizontal blade angle. Blade pitch is normally described as a ratio of forward distance per rotation assuming no slip. Blade pitch acts much like the gearing of the final drive of ...

  3. Propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

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

    The efficiency of the propeller is influenced by the angle of attack (α). This is defined as α = Φ - θ, [28] where θ is the helix angle (the angle between the resultant relative velocity and the blade rotation direction) and Φ is the blade pitch angle. Very small pitch and helix angles give a good performance against resistance but ...

  4. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle's center of gravity (cg), known as pitch, roll and yaw. These are collectively known as aircraft attitude , often principally relative to the atmospheric frame in normal flight, but also relative to terrain during takeoff or landing ...

  5. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    A shaft angle is the angle between the axes of two non-parallel gear shafts. In a pair of crossed helical gears, the shaft angle lies between the oppositely rotating portions of two shafts. This applies also in the case of worm gearing. In bevel gears, the shaft angle is the sum of the two pitch angles

  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. Pitch angle - Wikipedia

    Pitch angle (engineering), the angle between a bevel gears' element of a pitch cone and its axis; Pitch angle (particle motion), the angle between a charged particle's velocity vector and the local magnetic field; Pitch angle (kinematics), the rotation about the transverse axis of a stiff body Pitch angle (aviation), an airplane's rotation ...

    Pitch (screw) the distance between turns of a screw thread Blade pitch the distance between the front edge and the rear edge of a propeller blade; Pitch, the distance between passes in the helical scanning pattern of X-ray computed tomography; Pitch (typewriter), the number of characters and spaces in one inch (25.4 mm) of running text
