Constant speed prop question
In the course of trying to understand how a constant speed prop works
I came across the following passage in one of the Jeppesen books: "If the throttle is advanced without decreasing the pitch of the prop blades to increase ___ rpm, the manifold pressure increases as the prop mechanism attempts to keep ___ rpm constant by increasing the blade angle. The combination of high manifold pressure and low ___ rpm can cause damage due to high internal manifold pressures." I found this paragraph to be confusing because it makes several references to rpm but doesn't clarify whether it is engine or prop rpm. The blanks were inserted by me. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance. |
