Blade Angle - The angle between the plane of propeller rotation and the face of the
propeller blade.
Blade Angle. Of an propeller, the acute angle between the flat undersurface of one blade and the right angle from the propeller shaft. - the plane of rotation. The blade angle is in effect the angle at which a propeller blade bites into the air.
Blade angle and pitch
Although all parts of the propeller, from the hub to the blade tips, have the same forward velocity, the rotational velocity - and thus the helical path of any blade station - will depend on its distance from the hub centre.
The blade angle of attack in reference to the rotor disk plane, or the angle from zero lift line to the plane of disk rotation.

2 Blade Angle
There is a widespread misconception that P-factor arises because the angle of the right (downgoing) propeller blade is larger than the angle of the left (upgoing) propeller blade.
The constant-speed propeller keeps the blade angle adjusted for maximum efficiency for most conditions of flight.
Several factors may cause rotor blade angle of attack to change. Some are controlled by the pilot and some occur automatically due to the rotor system design.
Remember that at a hover, the blade angle is where the forces of lift and centrifugal force balance out.
VP - variable-pitch (propeller), whose blade angle can be altered in flight either automatically
or manually.
VRP - visual reference point. (In the UK) Landmarks used for position reporting by aircraft
operating VFR.
