Propeller Performance Guide

Application Diameter Range Efficiency (η) Typical RPM
RC Model Aircraft 0.15 – 0.5 m 0.60 – 0.75 5,000 – 15,000
Small General Aviation 1.5 – 2.5 m 0.75 – 0.85 2,000 – 2,800
Large Aircraft Propeller 3.0 – 5.0 m 0.80 – 0.90 1,000 – 2,000
Marine Propeller 0.5 – 10.0 m 0.50 – 0.70 100 – 1,500
📌 Note: Results are based on theoretical aerodynamic models. Actual performance depends on blade design, pitch distribution, Reynolds number effects, and compressibility at high tip speeds. For precise design, use CFD analysis or wind tunnel testing.
