In JSBSim, the prop maxes out between 2065 and 2165 RPM at 0 velocity, but does manage to hit 2400 RPM at Vx. You can push it over in a steep dive (as you mention). You mentioned that a 2700 RPM engine doesn't max out at Vx; I'm wondering if things are different for the 160HP 2400 RPM C172R that we're modelling.
