Do constant maximum lift to drag ratio variable pitch propeller exist?
Are there variable pitch propellers, where pitch is set so that the blades constantly are at their maximum lift to drag ratio AoA, whatever the incoming relative wind speed & direction?
Such a ...

What are the range of feathering speeds for electric constant speed props?
I flew a motorglider with an MT-7-A electric CS prop which takes 90 seconds to fully feather. Contrast that to a hydraulic governed prop, which takes just a few seconds to go from one extreme to the ...
