Controllable Pitch Propeller

A Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) has blades that can rotate around their longitudinal axis, unlike a FPP - a fixed pitch propeller - which cannot rotate. A Controllable Pitch Propeller influences the direction of thrust and allows the vessel to operate with optimal fuel efficiency. This makes it able to save energy, in turn making it more environmentally friendly and economical.
