A propeller pitch adjustment assembly is provided with a base hub operatively connected by blade shafts to propeller blades in which each blade rotates about an axis of each shaft. Each blade shaft is radially disposed about a propeller drive shaft and parallel to a pressure flange of a base hub spring plate. The spring plate counterforces the blade rotation with a lever screw that impacts the plate. An opposing spring transfers a load to the plate. The equilibrium position of the plate is determined by the spring force on the lever and a counteracting force exerted on the lever by a lift force generated by fluid flow over a propeller blade. A capping mechanism can provide a preload to the spring. A force exerted by the lift of the blade on the lever screw results in a blade pitch change.
