Thrust to weight
Folks:
Please indulge what is probably an uninformed question.
Is there a nomogram, formula, or rule of thumb for determining the likely thrust generated by a given engine (torque / hp) and propeller (dia / pitch / blades) combination?
I'm asking because I would like to be able to size an engine / prop to an airframe for a given purpose. For 3D, obviously thrust:weight must be >1; for other flight paradigms, that might not be necessary, and could be disadvantageous (taildragger trainer, for example. It would help me select a proper powerplant if I had something other than the 1hp/lb rule.
Thanks in advance for answers, tips, suggestions, or links.
