Through the summer of 1941, she tested a variable pitch propeller, and subsequently escorted a new cruiser during her trials.

U-2 had several features typical of Lake's designs, including a diving chamber under the bow and two variable pitch propellers.

The Mercury was also the first British aero engine to be approved for use with variable pitch propellers.

Propulsion was by variable pitch propellers - the first time these had been used in the Isle of Man fleet.

This is driven by the airflow as a windmill, and used to power the actuator of the variable pitch propeller.

The lightweight aluminum and fiberglass ships were not only fast but highly maneuverable because of their variable pitch propellers.

The propulsion is realized by a permanent magnet synchronous motor with an electrical driven variable pitch propeller.

These engines drove Hamilton Standard bracket-type variable pitch propellers.

The compressed gas accumulator was invented by Jean Mercier, for use in variable pitch propellers.

In 1935 the 12Ner variant was fitted with an in-flight- electrically operated variable pitch propeller.

During the production run a variable pitch propeller was introduced and often retrofitted to older aircraft; these were then unofficially known as B-2s.

Three-blade variable pitch propellers.

Each pair drove a variable pitch propeller through a shared gearbox, generating 2,700 PS each.

New equipment was added, which Darius and Girėnas did not have, such as a variable pitch propeller to improve engine performance and a radio compass.

A variable pitch propeller, also called a controllable pitch propeller, can also be used to generate negative thrust while decelerating on the runway.
