RE: Propeller load factor...does this really work?
Twister,
I can agree to neither formula!
The 2D + P formula is way too simplistic.
It can make one think a 10x6 and an 11x4 offer the same load, which is pretty far from the truth...
...as Brian (downunder) found out a couple of months ago.
Your formula also gets pretty close results (less than 2.5% difference) for these two prop sizes; so it must also be simplistically wrong.
