Description:
A method for determining propeller efficiency and drag from flight tests, using relatively simple instrumentation, is under development at Mississippi State University. Flight test data from several simple maneuvers are combined to produce sufficient information to determine the desired parameters. Information obtained from the transient response of airspeed to a step change in power or drag in level flight is utilized. Theory is developed and results of preliminary computer studies and preliminary flight test are presented.
