Default RE: patern prop question

Do the math yourself. With a pitch of 10 inches, turnng 10,000 rpm, that prop travels 10,000X10 inches per minute or 100,000 inches per minute. That's 8300 feet per minute or 500000 feet per hour or 94 miles per hour. This is ideal, with no drag and no slip of the prop.
