I am all for (property naming) consistency and I am for selecting the
tree layout now, and stick with it from now on.
There are a few property names I wouldn't have chosen,

1. Consistency

Most of the property names use lower case and hyphens ('-') as word

Thanks for reminding me -- the propeller-pitch property is misnamed,
and we should try to think of something more descriptive (it

Not that we don't want a new name but aren't these two

No. With a variable-pitch prop, the rpm will vary with both the pitch
setting and the throttle setting, but those have not been in use for
70

With a constant-speed prop, the governor will attempt
to maintain a constant RPM across a range of throttle settings by
constantly varying the propeller pitch.
I think you just uncovered your new name
Note that 'constant-speed' is not mentioned in the original post
