Xd the great Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know of the values for deploy angle where my blades will be producing maximum thrust? Edited February 25, 2020 by Xd the great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHHans Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 That depends on your airspeed. High blade pitch at low speeds means that the angle of attack is too large and the blades stall, low blade pitch at high speeds means that the AoA is too low or negative and the blades don't generate lift. Have a look at the design notes for some more explanation. IIRC it was something like 12 deg at the start of the take-off run and up to 33 deg at 120 m/s. If you don't want to change the blade pitch then 24 or so seems a good compromise. P.S. Btw. I use low blade pitch (down to 0 or even negative) to stop my propeller planes (in the air or on the runway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
