These propellers are usually hydraulically actuated, and their speed kept constant by means of a valve controlled by a centrifugal governor. In this paper, a digital twin of the pitch control system of a TPE331 turboprop engine is developed through physical modelling with the purpose of identifying its dynamic behavior. The operation of the system in both beta mode and flight operating mode is shown, and a comparison with experimental data is presented. digital twin turboprop electric propulsion propeller control Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
