Constant speed props

Hello guys,

I'm in second year of "prépa" (intensive 2 year maths, physics and engineering course) in France. I need to present a study of a mechanical system at the end of the year in order to graduate. I decided to take a look at constant speed propellers and more precisely the governors (CSU's).

I found a ton of information on the internet about the system, and I have quite a good understanding of it. But I still have a question that is unanswered:

Is there any link between the angle of attack of the prop and the propeller traction? I don't think that there is any, but I just want to confirm it with an expert.

Thank you very much guys!
