Motor and Propeller Performance Data

This document contains specifications and performance calculations for an electric motor and propeller. The motor operates at 11.5 volts and produces a maximum static thrust of 1.47 pounds. The propeller has a diameter of 10.08 inches, pitch of 5.04 inches and operates most efficiently around 50 mph. Graphs show how thrust, efficiency and power vary with propeller speed. Calculations determine quantities like motor RPM, propeller tip speed and static thrust.
