Maximum effective thrust per horsepower, or effective thrust available in aircraft power plant is discussed; high-speed engine with propeller driven at crankshaft speed is less efficient than slower turning propeller in same aircraft; high-speed direct-drive propeller may also suffer loss of efficiency due to excessive propeller tip speed; latest practice in regard to reduction gear ratios.
