Propeller Performance Guide
Propeller Type | Typical Thrust (N) | Efficiency (η) |
---|---|---|
Fixed-Pitch (Small Drone) | 5–50 | 0.7–0.85 |
Fixed-Pitch (GA Aircraft) | 500–5000 | 0.75–0.9 |
Variable-Pitch (Aircraft) | 1000–10000 | 0.8–0.9 |
Multirotor (Quadcopter) | 10–200 | 0.65–0.8 |
Note: Results are theoretical based on momentum theory. Actual thrust depends on propeller design, blade pitch, and conditions. Consult aerospace engineers for precise analysis.
