Default RE: Three bladed props vs. two bladed props.

Yes but the C-130 has Variable props and can do any pitch it wants to!
Yes but there is only one pitch that works well and does not over rev the engine, and the pitch that works well with a6 blade prop is higher than with a four blade prop. Thus it is better for high speed and high altitude.
