Activity factor is a measure of _________(a) the amount of power which is being absorbed by propeller(b) power generated by propeller(c) lift induced drag(d) parasite dragThis question was posed to me during an internship interview.Question is taken from Propulsion in chapter Propulsion of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (a) the amount of POWER which is being absorbed by propeller

To elaborate: How much power is being absorbed by propeller can be MEASURED by using activity FACTOR. Activity factor varies from 90-200. A typical large turboprop will have an activity factor of 140. LIGHTER aircraft can have activity factor as 100 typically.
