Guys, I have a question I can’t seem to get an answer for. If you have a four blade prop and the chord at the widest point is 3 inches for each prop, you would have a total of 12 inches of prop chord. Then if you have a three blade prop with each prop having 5 inches of chord, you would have a total of 15 inches of prop chord. Would the 3 prop setup create more thrust than the 4 prop arrangement?
I realize there are numerous variables that would affect the outcome but assume all things are equal except for the number of props. What do you think?
