If thrust loading is 0.65 then, find the power loading of a prop aircraft. Consider propeller is idle.

If thrust loading is 0.65 then, find the power loading of a prop aircraft. Consider propeller is idle. Correct Answer 846.15/V

Given, prop aircraft, thrust loading T.L. = 0.65 Since propeller is idle, propeller efficiency ƞ=1. Here, velocity is not mentioned so we will substitute it as V. Now, thrust loading is given as, T.L. = T/W = (550*η / V)*(hp/W) Hence, power loading W/hp = PL = 550*η / (T.L.*V) = 550/(V*0.65) = 846.15/V.
