I’m working on implementing a windmill farm simulation where the rotor blades rotate successfully. However, I need to incorporate pitch angle adjustments for the rotor blades. While the pitch angle change works as intended for one blade with rotation on the Y-axis, the other two blades are not rotating correctly as required.
The easiest solution is to edit your model in blender to use one blade, duplicated and parented to a single “hub” object.
Then each blade will have its own local coordinate space you can adjust.
To spin the mill.. you rotate the hub.
But you can still rotate the blades independently.

There are several ways to achieve the desired result.
Here is one of them, that uses rotation.order for blade meshes.
