Pyro: how is prop drag modelled?
« Reply #15 on: August 01, 2000, 10:55:00 PM »
One side pulling more than the other due to the difference between the prop axis of rotation and the apparent wind (and thus one blade taking a bigger bite than the other) *is* P-factor - not a contributor. The side with the lessor thrust having more potential for drag doesn't make sense. It either produces drag or it doesn't.

All I am saying that P-factor and prop drag are unrelated and are in fact two different things.
