169: 148: 82: 64: 215: 92: 288:"Controllable pitch propellers or CPP for marine propulsion systems have been designed to give the highest propulsive efficiency for any speed, at any loading condition ... By controlling the pitch of the blades, the optimum efficiency can be obtained and fuel can be saved." This is in direct contrast to; "at full power a fixed propeller will have a slighter better efficiency then a CPP." 250: 33: 300:
A fixed pitch is "super-optimized" towards one specific condition. It is extremely good (efficient) under certain circumstances and next to useless at others, iow a shipowner can go to a propeller designhouse and tell them: "I have this hull form and I run my ship at this exact speed at these revs on

A CPP on the other hand gives moderate performance on all operating conditions. It gives maximum flexibility but does not give any significant gain on any speed or load. It is half-good, half-bad all the way...
496: 291:
How is it that Controllable Pitch Propellors can be more efficient in terms of power and fuel, whilst being less efficient that fixed pitch propellors? What is the difference at "full power"?
185: 308:
For a ship doing only one same thing all the time over and over you use a FPP, for a ship which operates under changing conditions you use a CPP...

I think that the larger VPP scope should be built from and include content from the CPP subarticle, so I support the proposal. signed:
