Default RE: Simple method for calculating a prop's thrust

Nice work. I've been trying to figure out how to calculate thrust and torque for a prop without using empirical formulas. It seems the trick I was missing was the generic lift curve you came up with. How did you derive this curve? Are there any texts you have referred to that I may be interested in? I'm developing an optimization program for an electric airplane and I think this would greatly improve the accuracy.
