The 15 degree came from common airfoil stall angles so yes, it applies anywhere. Tracy Hi Tracy, I assume that the 15 degree limit is anywhere along the blade rather than anyone radius. Is that correct? Best Guesses are accepted :-) TJ Tracy Crook wrote:
That conclusion was based on measurements of the blade angle, prop rpm & airspeed and calculating angle to airflow along with the assumption that stall would occur when angle exceeded 15 deg. Then this SWAG was boiled in a pot with observations of how adversely the cooling was affected by the IVO (stalled air blocking inlets).
