class Constant_Speed_Internal_Combustion_Engine(Propulsor):
    """
    A propulsion system class that combines an internal combustion engine with a constant-speed propeller.
    
    Attributes
    ----------
    tag : str
        Identifier for the propulsion system, defaults to 'ice_constant_speed_propeller'
        
    engine : None or Engine
        The internal combustion engine component
        
    propeller : None or Propeller
        The constant-speed propeller component
    
    Notes
    -----
    This class models a propulsion system that pairs an internal combustion engine with 
    a constant-speed propeller. The constant-speed propeller maintains a specified RPM 
    by adjusting blade pitch.
    
    **Definitions**

    'Constant-Speed Propeller'
        A propeller that maintains a constant rotational speed by automatically 
        adjusting blade pitch to match power requirements

    'Governor'
        Mechanical or electronic device that controls propeller pitch to maintain 
        desired RPM
