Mechanical shaft power and shaft speed of reciprocating internal combustion engines are closely coupled. Maximum rated shaft power is typically produced at or near peak shaft speed. If a general aviation airplane equipped with a reciprocating engine and a variable-pitch propeller attempts a low-noise takeoff by reducing propeller tip speed, propeller power and thrust are reduced. Such takeoffs are not tolerated due to punishing performance effects, such as increased field lengths and poor climb rates. Certain electric motors, however, are able to deliver maximum shaft power over a wide range of shaft speed. Electric or hybrid-electric propeller-driven airplanes should be able to exploit this behavior. At low shaft speeds, high shaft power levels and high blade pitch angles could be combined to recover much of the thrust that would otherwise be lost. This could enable a low-noise operating mode for propellers normally designed for performance rather than for noise. The subject of this paper is an analytical investigation into low-noise takeoffs and steady overflights of a notional general aviation airplane equipped with a propeller driven by an electric motor.
