You'll find that this is very similar to full scale- a Cessna 150 stalls about 40 mph and tops out at about 100. ***Pitch speed of a prop is just pitch in inches x rpm (again- close enough*** (I think this is what you were asking for.) Next divide the wingspan by 4 to...
Suppose you know that a certain finned object has a drag coefficient of 0.03 based on frontal area. Assuming that its drag coefficient is tripled on its way through the “sound barrier,” could it, if dropped from a sufficient height, surpass the speed of sound at sea level, which is ...
