Which of the following is the correct performance equation for power-producing engines?(a) ηV=PD(b) ηD=PV(c) ηP=VD(d) V=ηPDI got this question in a job interview.The query is from Range and Endurance for Aircraft with Power Producing Engines in division Cruising Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (c) ηP=VD

To explain I would say: The correct EQUATION for PERFORMANCE equation is ηP=VD where ŋ is propeller efficiency, P is drag power, D is drag and V is velocity. In a power-producing engine the shaft power is PRODUCED as well as propulsive thrust produced by the propeller which is converted into power.
