Determine the propeller efficiency if propeller velocity is 300ft/s and thrust of 1320 lb. Given bhp is 800.(a) 90%(b) 0.03%(c) 0.895%(d) 0.09%This question was posed to me in an online interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Propulsion in section Propulsion of Aircraft Design |
Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (a) 90% Easy explanation: Propeller EFFICIENCY = (thrust*VELOCITY) / (bhp*550) = 1320*300/ (550*800) = 0.9 = 0.9*100 % = 90%. |
