  2. Thrust-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    where is propulsive efficiency (typically 0.65 for wooden propellers, 0.75 metal fixed pitch and up to 0.85 for constant-speed propellers), hp is the engine's shaft horsepower, and is true airspeed in feet per second, weight is in lbs.

  3. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    The momentum theory or disk actuator theory – a theory describing a mathematical model of an ideal propeller – was developed by W.J.M. Rankine (1865), Alfred George Greenhill (1888) and Robert Edmund Froude (1889). The propeller is modelled as an infinitely thin disc, inducing a constant velocity along the axis of rotation.

  4. Radio-controlled aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_aircraft

    A radio-controlled aircraft (often called RC aircraft or RC plane) is a small flying machine that is radio controlled by an operator on the ground using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmitter continuously communicates with a receiver within the craft that sends signals to servomechanisms (servos) which move the control surfaces based on ...

  5. Drag curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_curve

    P R curve for the light aircraft with the drag curve above and weighing 2000 kg, with a wing area of 15 m² and a propeller efficiency of 0.8. W = (ρ/2).S.V 2.C L and P R = (ρ/2η).S.V 3.C D. The extra factor of V /η, with η the propeller efficiency, in the second equation enters because P R = (required thrust)× V /η. Power rather than ...

  6. Chord (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(aeronautics)

    The wing, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer and propeller/rotor blades of an aircraft are all based on aerofoil sections, and the term chord or chord length is also used to describe their width. The chord of a wing, stabilizer and propeller is determined by measuring the distance between leading and trailing edges in the direction of ...

  8. Propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_(aeronautics)

    While a propeller may be tested in a wind tunnel, its performance in free-flight might differ. At the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory, E. P. Leslie used Vought VE-7s with Wright E-4 engines for data on free-flight, while Durand used reduced size, with similar shape, for wind tunnel data. Their results were published in 1926 as NACA ...

    30 size : Engine 0.3 cubic inch, Main Blades 550-600mm; 50 size : Engine 0.5 cubic inch, Main Blades 600-620mm; 60 size : Engine 0.6 cubic inch; 90 size : Engine 0.9 cubic inch, Main Blades 690-710mm; Modern RC helicopters are generally classed by the length of the main blades (with few exceptions). Common classes are: Micro (under 200mm main ...
