Abstract

An adjusting device is provided for an airplane propulsion system using the reciprocating piston combustion engine and a propeller, which adjusting device simultaneously adjusts the throttle valve and the propeller pitch of the propellers. The adjusting device is formed with a connecting rod and a carrier rod connected thereto. The connecting rod is provided as an adjusting cable whereby the cable core is under spring pretensioning in lower rotational speeds of the motor.
