    Prop Thrust Qs: Find Answers to Static Thrust, Velocity Relation & TO Dist Calcs

    Cyrus, i used the equations in your first reply because the manufacturer provided me with the related data. attached is an output for Thrust vs Velocity, it seems pretty reasonable to me.

    Is the Interceptor Base in Eastern Europe a Threat to Russian Security?

    " WARSAW, Poland — Poland and the United States struck a deal Thursday that will strengthen military ties and put an American missile interceptor base in Poland, a plan that has infuriated Moscow and sparked fears in Europe of a new arms race. "...

    Prop Thrust Qs: Find Answers to Static Thrust, Velocity Relation & TO Dist Calcs

    Yes i found a good chapter in the following book describing what i wanted: Propeller Theory and Applications in the book "Airplane Aerodynamics and Performance" (Roskam) The problem is that the geometry of the propeller and in particular the integrated design lift coefficient ( CLi) and...

    Prop Thrust Qs: Find Answers to Static Thrust, Velocity Relation & TO Dist Calcs

    Thanks for your response, One of the websites you listed had the following graph: http://www.epi-eng.com/images/Redrives/PropEff-01.gif which is EXACTLY what i am looking for. However i need to know how to generate something like this mathematically using my own horsepower, rpm, and...

    Prop Thrust Qs: Find Answers to Static Thrust, Velocity Relation & TO Dist Calcs

    The following are a few questions that i have come across while writing takeoff distance code: 1. Assuming a known static thrust, how will this thrust vary as the airspeed increases? ex. Is the relationship linear? quadratic? how can i determine the coefficients of the "thrust in terms of...

    Static pressure vs. dynamic pressure

    Alright thanks. So i gather that if we considered an area of a wing section; -if the static pressure > dynamic pressure , the particles collide more often (the fluid is denser) and with smaller force(the momentum is smaller) -relative to the condition where: -the static pressure < dynamic...

    Static pressure vs. dynamic pressure

    " So it doesn't involve the air 'crashing' into the surface of the airfoil. " I thought that pressure by definition is the 'crashing' into the surface, otherwise how else could it impart a force? Secondly, I understand the conservation law and how it works, I am just wondering what makes it...

    Static pressure vs. dynamic pressure

    I am having trouble relating the two quantities of dynamics and static pressure in: 1/2p*v^2 + p = constant, bernoullis equation, to corresponding physical descriptions. In what way do the air molecules act to create both dynamic and static pressure, respectivley? As far as i know, dynamic...

    Mathematics involved in Aerodynamics

    So i will never come across: topology, number theory, abstract algebra, group theory, order theory, topology, fractals, chaos, logic, set theory, category theory, graph theory, combinatronics or any others beyond the above mention? Also, specifically what type of algebra?

    Mathematics involved in Aerodynamics

    I'm just beginning to study aerodynamics, and i was wondering if anyone could list the topics, fields, and types of math that are used in textbooks, research papers, journals etc. that one would read when studying aerodynamics?
