Hi Dave,
I agree with your conclusion but I'm trying to get my head around the statement that geared systems have more torque and if so how that affects driving the prop system. Are you referring to the popular systems we use? It would seem that two systems driving the same prop at the same rpm would require the same torque. Or is there a difference in accelerating the prop or props?
I'm still trying to learn.
