Static Thrust

AI Thread Summary

The relationship between thrust and RPM cannot be directly calculated without additional parameters. The formula provided, T = ct * 0.5 * ρ * v² * S, indicates that thrust (T) depends on the coefficient of thrust (ct), air density (ρ), velocity (v), and rotor blade area (S). To calculate thrust with fixed angle of attack and rotor blade area, one must know the specific values for these variables. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these parameters to derive accurate thrust calculations. Accurate calculations require a comprehensive understanding of the involved factors beyond just RPM.

You can't directly calculate thrust if all you know is RPMs.

If angle of attack and area of rotor blade is fixed how can i calculate it. could you please tell me the calculation of it for fixed parameters.

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
