Hi, I did some reading up on the basic math for jet aircraft, thrust-to-weight ratio, and related concepts. I was trying to relate this understanding to propeller driven aircraft, like a small single-prop plane. When I see the stats for these small planes in magazines, the engine horsepower is listed, along with the power loading and empty weight. I was wondering if it was possible, without diving too deeply into the math and details, to roughly figure out the lbf that can be generated by a propeller with, say, a 100 hp engine. Maybe by making a bunch of simplifying assumptions, like a typical propeller, standard barometric pressure, and such like? -- Christopher Howard
