Propeller Efficiency
Propeller EfficiencyRule of ThumbDavid F. Rogers, PhD, ATPT heoretically the most efficient Propeller is a large diameter, slowly turning single bladepropeller. Here, think the Osprey or helicopters. In both cases, large diameter, slowly turn-ing, compared to typical fixed wing aircraft, propellers are used. Generally, single bladedpropellers are not used because of dynamic imbalance - think vibration. As a result, thegeneral wisdom is that better Propeller efficiency results from decreasing RPM. However, Propeller efficiency is not only a function of RPM.
