Adaptation of fixed shaft turboprop engines to business aircraft requires drastic simplification of control system as compared to transport turboprops; AiResearch TPE331 engine incorporates variable low pitch stop controlled through mechanical linkage to achieve simplified control and also reverse thrust; control of system uses cam cut to match airplane-engine-propeller flight characteristics; flight testing in aircraft varying from converted B-26 test bed to slow STOL aircraft was used to verify calculations and develop control system, negative torque system and general engine development.
