    Default Calculation of propeller tip speed

    I've gone through this before, but all my knowledge escapes me. There was a person on this forum that helped me determine the max propeller rpm to yield a tips not in excess of 85% of the speed of sound. Searching the posts hasn't come up with the post.

    Thanks,
