That is not what I discovered during the early research phase of this project. I found a motor calculator on a vendor website that gives results that are just too good to be true. Another respected website states something along the lines of “we know for a fact that the performance of propeller X is …” and then proceeds to give grossly inaccurate numbers. Another authoritative source assures us that minimum power to fly occurs at stall speed. Wrong!
Through extensive research, I’ve located actual recorded flight data, wind tunnel test results and controlled lab experiments that I’ve used to validate every aspect of the calculator.
