Prop diameter is usually limited by either tip speed or ground clearance
Ground clearance is obvious. But what does tip speed have to do with limiting propeller diameter? Obviously, a propeller of whatever diameter suits ground clearance should be rotating at whatever rpm gives the optimal tip speed!
