Determine thrust of propeller if propeller efficiency is 85%. Propeller is assumed to be operated with 1200 bhp and 350ft/s of velocity.(a) 1602.85 lb(b) 12kN(c) 16789lb(d) 8902lbThis question was addressed to me in my homework.My question is from Propulsion topic in chapter Propulsion of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Right ANSWER is (a) 1602.85 lb

The EXPLANATION is: Thrust = 550*BHP*propeller efficiency/velocity = 550*1200*0.85/350 = 1602.85 lb of force.
