PROPELLER OPERATION AND MALFUNCTIONS BASIC …
maintain constant propeller RPM, you must adjust the pitch of the propeller blades as you change airspeed and/or engine power. The pitch is adjusted by rotating the whole blade on a bearing in the hub using an actuator that is linked to the control system. When you change the pitch, you change the "bite" that the blades make with the wind.

In the turbine engine, however, these same four steps occur at the same time but in different places. As a result of this fundamental difference, the turbine has engine sections called: 1.
