Propeller Performance Guide
| Application | Diameter Range | Efficiency (η) | Typical RPM |
|---|---|---|---|
| RC Model Aircraft | 0.15 – 0.5 m | 0.60 – 0.75 | 5,000 – 15,000 |
| Small General Aviation | 1.5 – 2.5 m | 0.75 – 0.85 | 2,000 – 2,800 |
| Large Aircraft Propeller | 3.0 – 5.0 m | 0.80 – 0.90 | 1,000 – 2,000 |
| Marine Propeller | 0.5 – 10.0 m | 0.50 – 0.70 | 100 – 1,500 |
📌 Note: Results are based on theoretical aerodynamic models. Actual performance depends on blade design, pitch distribution, Reynolds number effects, and compressibility at high tip speeds. For precise design, use CFD analysis or wind tunnel testing.
