Default RE: Prop size and thrust



depends what is the blade shape?
If the shape is scaled up or scaled down is a simple matter of relating the area of one blade to the area of a similar blade on the other prop to determine how much air is displaced per rev (ignoring other losses and compressibility effects).

And is the engine capable of delivering the required rpm to deliver the thrust?</p>
