Prop Questions

[jfkal]

With a given HP rating and gear ratio would a 16x10 or a 16x11 prop require higher RPM for the same thrust. In other words if a 16x10 is correct would a 16x11 overload or underload the engine?

I believe that increasing the pitch by one inch will reduce the RPM by about 300. The engine will experience an increased load.

Where there is a prop spec calculator for all engine sizes
