Way back whenI was in school I remember something along the lines that "a stopped propeller generates drag equal to the area of the stopped blades, but a spinning propeller generates drag equal to the AREA OF THE DIAMETER of the propeller arc." This would be a vote for stopped propeller equals less drag. E. Currier |
