![]() "Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Oh i don't see any change. Toothpicks have, by far, been the most common props on lightplanes for years and not without good reason. I'm not arguing that. But it depends on a lot of things. A lot of turboprops have relatively wide chord scimitar props, for instance. My point was really more directed towards the sentiment that efficiency shoud be described in such narrow terms. Most people want an airplane to go from A-B real fast and burn as little fuel as possible, but that doesn't mean that it's nore efficient than an airplane that excelles in some other way.. Bertie And all your input has had zip **** to do with "Silent Super Efficient Propellers". Quit rattling your empty head. You're starting to sound like Anthony again. |
