 A ground adjustable propeller on a Rotax 912S engine, mounted in a 3Xtrim 3X55 Trener. |
A ground-adjustable propeller is a type of aircraft propeller where the blade angle can be adjusted, but only while the engine is not running. The blades are loosened in the hub, the new angle set and then the hub tightened.[1]
Ground-adjustable propellers are much cheaper and lighter in weight than in-flight-adjustable propellers, and are found on light aircraft and very light aircraft.
