In a typical small plane, the propeller turns at the same rpm as the engine, which is usually limited to 2500 rpm. The limiting factor of any propeller is that the tip speed cannot exceed the speed of sound, or it basically quits working.
In planes with more horsepower, the prop is normally geared down from the engine, since the prop is larger in diameter to absorb the extra horsepower. Even though the engine may still only peak at 2500 rpm, the larger diameter prop would break the speed of sound, thus necessitating a reduction in propeller rpm.

How fast does a propeller need to spin to move airplane?
12 km per hour
Can you attach a propeller to a paper airplane?
yes, but not too powerful, or the plane will spin with the propeller
What is a propeller airplane?
A propeller airplane is, simply put, any airplane which uses a propeller for propulsion.
What propels an airplane or ship?
A ship is propelled by wind or a propeller, and an airplane is propelled by a jet engine, propeller or turboprop.

How fast can a propeller spin?
Propeller speeds can vary widely depending on the size and type of aircraft. Generally, propellers for small general aviation aircraft spin at around 2,000-3,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), while larger commercial aircraft can have propellers that spin at speeds up to 1,000 RPM or more.
Who invented airplane propeller?
The Wright Brothers. === ===
What type of enjoin does a early airplane have?
propeller
How did the wright brothers' airplane turn on?
It was started by hand. One person would lay on the airplane while another person would spin the propeller. The engine had no battery so an electric starter was not an option.The props were carefully turned by hand to start the engines.
What does a propeller do on a turboprop airplane engine?
The propeller on a turboprop airplane engine spins to move the aircraft through the air. It acts in a way similar to that of the blade in a fan.
How is a propeller like an airplane wing?
A propeller is almost exactly similar to an airplane wing. A propeller has the same general shape as a wing, but it is slightly distorted to obtain maximum efficiency. Also, like a wing, many propellers change shape to perform better in different areas (eg takeoff, climb, fuel efficiency, etc.). The only two major differences are 1. the size and 2. propellers spin.
How do you remove an airplane propeller?
you take it off the shaft
