Propeller thrust question
Thrust from a propeller drops as speed increases to a theoretical zero. When
this happens, what is providing the thrust to overcome drag? The forward momentum of the aircraft? If so, is it a case of the speed very slightly and imperceptibly dipping below the zero thrust speed, getting a little thrust to bring it back to the zero-thrust condition and doing this over and over again? Thanks in advance.
