Summary:

Charts are presented for determining the performance of airplanes having variable-pitch propellers, the pitch of which is assumed to be adjusted to maintain constant speed for all rates of flight.

The charts are based on the general performance equations developed by Oswald, and are used in a similar manner.

Examples applying the charts to airplanes having both supercharged and unsupercharged engines are included.
