hey everone
i am a bit confused about propeller pitch. propeller pitch is the forward distance which the propeller blades cover in one rotation.now in respect of a piston engine aircraft having constant speed HARTZEL propeller the manufacturer has defined different RPM for take off, cruising flight and landing. My question is why it is recommended to Take off with high Rpm and cruise at lower RPM?
