TL;DR
Turboprop engine propeller efficiency data
Hello, I'm looking for data on turboprop aircraft engine propeller efficiencies.

I'm hoping for a table of available modern engines with a propeller efficiencies for comparison.

I've tried Googling but not much luck.

I can't even seem to find propeller efficiencies on the individual engine manufacturer websites.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

A simple plot of efficiency is not possible because propeller efficiency is a function of RPM, airspeed, air density, and power. The propeller manufacturers have this information. Hartzell has the following to say: Distribution of Hartzell Propeller Integration Manuals is limited and controlled. Please contact Hartzell OEM Sales for more information. http://hartzellprop.com/contact/.

See Hartzell's web page at https://hartzellprop.com/services/product-support-library/manuals/. Other propeller manufacturers for turbine engines include McCauley and MT-Propeller.
