Default RE: A matter of thrust

Some “square” props (diameter & pitch numbers same) or over square props (pitch number greater than diameter) tend to partially stall or are in turbulence when ran statically.
I don't think the plane would take off if the prop was stalled, unless only part of the prop is stalled. When the prop is turning on the ground the air speeds up and has velocity before entering the prop. It would likely only be stalled when revving up quickly from idle.
