A pilot may control the pitch of a propeller to optimize performance and efficiency during different flight phases. The pitch can be adjusted manually or automatically by a system that uses sensors and computer algorithms to maximize power output and minimize drag. A controllable pitch propeller allows for more precise control over the engine's operation, enabling pilots to fine-tune their approach and takeoff strategies to suit changing conditions. Variable pitch propellers also provide improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise pollution compared to fixed-pitch propellers. By adjusting the pitch in real-time, pilots can adapt to varying wind speeds and altitudes, ensuring a smoother ride for passengers and cargo alike. This advanced technology has become increasingly prevalent in modern aviation, with many aircraft manufacturers incorporating controllable pitch propellers into their designs.
