Does a prop turning at 2300 rpm on a 150hp motor produce more thrust than

a
prop spinning 2300 rpm on a 100 hp motor ?


I'm no authority on the subject, mind you, but it seems you get more thrust
from the more powerful engine because it will turn a prop with more pitch,
thus moves more air, thus more bite. Thus more thrust.
