That's a really good
idea. You could use any prop that was flying on a plane and giving known
performance and static rpm as a benchmark and go from there. It would only
give you static rpm which you could use to estimate power for that rpm, but
projecting that to higher rpm's would seem to be more accurate than anything
we've got now.
How elaborate would something like that be and what would
it cost? ... Jim S.
Hi Jim,
I'm still
churning through the options, but I think it might be easier to just
swap engines on the plane than to recreate all the systems on a
stand. Heck, a single rotor would probably fly the RV-3 just
fine. Might make sport pilot rules too :-)
