Default RE: Venting about flight simulators

FYI.. this is a quick calculation of the maximum speed for various props at various RPM's. This is theoretical and, because of such things as drag, slippage, and fuselage/wing design, are not attainable. You won't reach it, but, in theory, in a perfect world, well, you get the idea.


Pitch RPM MPH

4 8000 30.3
6 8000 45.5
8 8000 60.6
10 8000 75.8
4 10000 37.9
6 10000 56.8
8 10000 75.8
10 10000 94.7
4 12000 45.5
6 12000 68.2
8 12000 90.9
10 12000 113.6
4 14000 53.0
6 14000 79.5
8 14000 106.1
10 14000 132.6
4 16000 60.6
6 16000 90.9
8 16000 121.2
10 16000 151.5
