Default prop rpm question

Thrust is a direct relation of diameter x pitch x rpm.
Get a copy of H.Glauert's book: The elements of aerofoil and airscrew
theory.
isbn 052127494
Also, thrust is a function of the third power of the prop diameter so
changing the prop diameter on inch can have a major effect on thrust
and vice versa.
