Propeller Controls

From general aviation reciprocating engines to the most advanced turboprops, 75% of propeller-driven aircraft use Woodward controls.

Woodward developed the first successful propeller control in 1933. Today, approximately 75% of all propeller-driven aircraft use Woodward AES controls. In addition, a growing number of general aviation and commuter aircraft rely on Woodward AES overspeed governors, synchronizers and synchrophasers for their turboshaft, turboprops and reciprocating engines. As engine controls have moved toward electronic-based systems, Woodward has responded with a line of electronic propeller controls.
