ABSTRACT:
A propulsion blade retraction and pitch control apparatus includes a hollow primary drive shaft, a pitch control gear assembly mounted, within a propeller hub, to the primary drive shaft, a radially spaced array of pitch control stub shafts mounted to, in co-operation with, the pitch control gear assembly, so as to be selectively rotatable about corresponding pitch control shaft longitudinal axes upon selective actuation of the pitch control gear assembly, propulsion blades pivotally mounted to the pitch control stub shafts at ends of the pitch control stub shafts radially distal from the pitch control gear assembly, one or two coaxial nested pitch control drive shafts, rotatably co-axially journalled so as to be nested within, and co-axial to, the hollow primary drive shaft, said pitch control drive shaft or shafts selectively rotatable to actuate the pitch control gear assembly.
