Overview

An educational demonstrator built to visualise the relationship between a turboprop engine
and its propeller. It is not a working replica of a real aircraft system: the exterior takes
its cue from R391-style six-blade propeller geometry, while the control logic is based on the
T56 constant-speed and condition lever principles seen in the C-130 family.
