Why still no dive acceleration difference?

[Crumpp]

no, that is not what I'm saying. it may provide thrust. but it is not "excess" thrust. that is the key here. excess thrust, excess thrust, excess thrust. it is not excess thrust because Crumpp posted a diagram on csp propellar that shows you can not have peak efficiency beyond Vmax. The only way to get beyond vmax and create excess thrust is to dive at the necessary angle. go back and look how he defined excess thrust. it's the difference between the two force vectors. in level flight, the force vector from gravity has no forward direction. at vmax and level flight, there is no more opportunity to create excess thrust from the prop. you have to dive to create excess thrust and acceleration.

You got it!

One small tweak though....

Crumpp posted a diagram on csp propellar that shows you can not have peak efficiency beyond Vmax.

It is not that you cannot have peak efficiency beyond Vmax. You could design such a propeller but there is little point as all performance the airplane cannot sustain is instantaneous. Of course there would be some serious design trade off's to gain such performance as well. A supersonic propeller design would not work very well on a WWII Piston fighter.

The CSP is designed to maintain peak efficiency through the designs sustainable envelope.
