I think you just uncovered your new name 

Note that 'constant-speed' is not mentioned in the original post

Thanks for reminding me -- the propeller-pitch property is misnamed,
and we should try to think of something more descriptive (it directly
controls propeller speed, not pitch).

FWIW - I still maintain that for a variable pitch prop
propeller speed and pitch are the ~same~

Perhaps this is easier to think of as 'screw distance'
or 'Work'

Cheers
