Fixed pitch propellers are a fundamental and widely employed type of marine propeller. They consist of blades with a fixed angle of attack that cannot be adjusted while the vessel is in operation. This simplicity in design makes them reliable and cost-effective.

A fixed pitch propeller has several notable features that make it a popular choice for ship propulsion. Here are some key features of this marine propeller:
Ship propulsion systems can be categorized into fixed pitch propellers (FPPs) and controllable pitch propellers (CPPs). FPPs have fixed blade positions and are known for their reliability and cost-effectiveness in ship propulsion. They are commonly used in vessels that operate within specific speed ranges and stable load conditions. The simplicity of FPPs, with no moving parts or adjustable mechanisms, contributes to their durability and ease of maintenance. These propellers are favored for their straightforward design, making them more affordable compared to CPPs. Fixed pitch propellers are widely employed in various types of ships, including container vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, and dry cargo vessels.
On the other hand, CPPs offer adjustable blade pitch angles, providing improved maneuverability and load handling capacity. The ability to modify the pitch angle during operation allows for optimal performance under different conditions, making CPPs more versatile. However, the complexity of CPPs, with hydraulic or mechanical systems for adjusting the blade pitch, results in higher manufacturing costs and increased maintenance requirements. Controllable pitch propellers are commonly utilized in offshore support vessels and high-performance ships that encounter varying loads or changing environmental conditions.
