Comparing the notes on piston engines and turboprops, is confusing, is the "eng-rpm" the prop shaft rpm? ..ignoring gear box losses, power is constant thru it, shaft speed in is shaft speed out times the gear ratio and "inverse of the torque ratio". ..we're back to checking the source, to see what Andy meant here. ;o) > Is this the RPM where the engine catches? > > Josh -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
