Has anyone graphed the relationship between propeller engine attributes?

I only just discovered how to observe propeller RPM and Thrust.

Thing is, I have no idea how to practically determine the relationship between them.

Pitch, thickness, engine power, blade count, blade diameter, etc.

What produces the most thrust at a given speed.

Has anyone worked this out for this game?

    Actually, that's interesting, I'll have to check it out. If I'm not too lazy.

    @Noname918181818181818181 Well yeah, but there's still a technical aspect to this game.
    @RB107 Hm

    @Graingy P-51 original has max speed of 575kph. After i maxed out the blade diameter, the max speed is 650kph. Both is tested in same attitude and i use low physics.

    @Graingy I use P-51 (simple) and test it with some different diameter blade and then measure the highest speed

    I just mess with the propeller until it looks right for the plane

    @RB107 Where'd you see that?

    This would be useful information, yes.

    Widening diameter of the propeller helps increase speed, while the blade thickness is... Helps the acceleration?

    i just increase HP and RPM until the plane turns into a cruise missile or an X-15
