FINDING DISTANCE OF DAYS RUN

FINDING DISTANCE OF DAYS RUN

If the pitch of the propeller is 19.7 feet, and the revolutions per day are 86,178, calculate the days run allowing 3% negative slip.

A. 279.2 miles
B. 287.6 miles
C. 311.4 miles
D. 326.2 miles

Pitch x RPM x Slip divided by 6080 = 19.7ft x 86,178 x 1.03 divided by 6080 = 287.6 miles
