Default RE: prop's what does what?


ORIGINAL: armody

Hi all,

Just I've been never got the correct answer as this topic is of props is being discussed so I wanna ask one question. What is the difference between a thrust and a speed?

Mody

Thrust is a measurement of force and speed is a measurement of velocity.

They measure the force the prop exerts to pull the airplane forward. Often in pounds of thrust.
They measure how fast, the speed, the airplane flies. Often in mile per hour.
