In aircraft design, the blade propeller formula refers to the equations used to calculate various parameters related to a propeller, such as its efficiency, thrust, power, and pitch.
One of the fundamental formulas used in propeller design is the thrust equation:
- T is the thrust produced by the propeller.
- π (pi) is approximately 3.14159.
- n is the propeller’s rotational speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
- r is the radius of the propeller blade.ρ (rho) is the air density.
- V is the velocity of the aircraft through the air.
- Cp is the power coefficient, which depends on the specific design of the propeller.
