All,
Just daydreaming a little (at work!). I've chosen to equip my TMX-O360 RV6 with a Sensenich FP prop with 83" of pitch. I'm expecting an empty weight of around 1080 lbs.
Basic math tells me that I could expect a theoretical max speed (in knots) of 6.87 x RPM (in hundreds) e.g.
6.87 x 27 = 185 kts
Any aviation 'buffs' out there that can tell me the real world efficiency of propellers when mated with the RV frame. I appreciate that this is not an exact science, but then again, dreaming allows us a little latitude...
Regards,
Leonard
