53
Q 
Draw the CSU 
on speed 
under speed
over speed
and explain the CSU
A

-The blade angle system is operated hydraulically by the governor.
-The governor is driven by the engine crankshaft and consists of rotating fly weights.
– Fly weights are connected to the speeder spring and the plunger
COARSE- OVER SPEED
- if the plane pitches down
-The fly weights are engine RPM sensitive as the RPM increases the centrifugal courses force moves the fly weights outwards(plunger up - coarse -oil goes in)
-so the prop take a bigger bite out of the air requiring more engine torque so the RPM slows down.
- Then the flight weights move back to equilibrium
-Then the blade angel and engine RPM are maintained
UNDERSPEED
- If the plane pitches up the propeller wants to slow down
-As the engine RPM decreases the fly weights move inward (plunger down- propeller goes fine- allowing oil to exit the hub)
-The blade angle decreases as there is less engine torque.
- Then the rpm increases - fly weights move back to equilibrium position and pilot valve closes and engine rpm is maintained
ON SPEED
- The pitch control lever sets tension in the speeder spring attached to the fly weights - allowing the pilot to select a constant RPM which the CSU will try to maintain in flight

54
Q

What happens to the CSU when the plane pitched down or pitches up?

A

Pitch down
With the pitch control lever set back the pilot requests a lower rpm but if the plane pitches down the propeller wants to speed up
- Thus the RPM wants to increase the fly weights open pulling up the pilot valve allowing oil to fly into the hub.
-The blade angle increases so the prop takes a bigger bite out of the air requiring more engine torque so RPM slows down. Then the fly weights move back to equilibrium. Blade and engine RPM maintained.
Pitching up
If the plane pitches up the propeller wants to slow down
the fly weights move inward opening up the pilot valve allowing oil out of the hub the blade angle decreases and there is less engine torque.
So the RPM increases - fly weights move back to equilibrium position.
Pilot valve closes and engine RPM is maintained
