I need to study about the variable pitch propeller and its mechanism of adjusting the angel of the blades. And also about the materials used to make propellers and their benefits..

can someone please help me to find sources such as images/videos about the variable pitch propeller? or please answer to those question here. I need basic information.


Thanks.

Google + "variable pitch propeller" will turn up results.
 
As for materials, most are aluminum alloys, as they're fairly durable.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
