Does the length of a propeller affect the speed at which a plane travels?

Both the length and the rpm of the prop affect the speed of the aircraft. Larger, slower turning props are more efficient at the speeds at which most prop aircraft operate. If the tip speed of a prop exceeds the sound barrier, a prop will suddenly loose a large part of its thrust. The loud crackling noise you hear on takeoff is not the engine, but the prop tips nibbling at the sound barrier.

How is the thrust force created in a propeller driven plane?
By the propeller, pulling itself through the air.
How does a decrease in height affect the actual echanical advantage of the inclined plane?
Since the Mechanical Advantage of the inclined plane is inversely proportional to its height, increasing the height would lower your mechanical advantage and lowering the height would increase it.Alternately, mechanical advantage is directlyproportional to an inclined plane's length, therefore increasing the length would increase your mechanical advantage.
What is an airplane that travels faster than sound called?
It is called a 'supersonic' plane
What is the ideal mechanical advantage of inclined plane?
The ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is a ratio describing the length one has to travel to raise a load by a desired height. To obtain this ratio, divide the length of the plane's sloped face by the height of the inclined plane. IMA = Slope length / height
What is the power of a plane mirror?
Power is ZERO Since power = 1/ focal length As focal length of plane mirror is infinity, its reciprocal is 0
What is the fastest propeller powered plane?
The Tupolev Tu-114 is officially proven the fastest propeller powered plane.It travels at 870kmph.But there is one unorthodox plane in the British Navy that is not officially tested but it is said to travel at 980kmph.It is Lockheed XFV-1 Salmon.
Who is the inventor of the plane propeller?
The inventor of the propeller is Wallace Turnbull.
What is a propeller plane?
It's a plane that is propeller-driven. The engine or engines drive propellers to provide thrust for the craft.
Can't a plane be built without a propeller?
Yes, it can. - Jet engines have no propeller.
What size is the propeller on 747 plane?
No
Where was the propeller plane invented?
in japan
How does the size of the paper plane affect the distance it fly's?
The size of the paper does affect the distance it travels, but it also makes it heavier.
Can you attach a propeller to a paper airplane?
yes, but not too powerful, or the plane will spin with the propeller
What are the ratings and certificates for Warren Budd and His Propeller Plane - 2010?
Warren Budd and His Propeller Plane - 2010 is rated/received certificates of: USA:PG
What came before the jet?
The propeller plane.
How is the thrust force created in a propeller driven plane?
By the propeller, pulling itself through the air.
Parts of propeller plane?
Wheels and cockpit are two parts of a plane with propellers.
