The conditions I propose:

o Parked, brakes locked (zero GS)

o Zero wind (thus zero IAS)

The questions: How much induced AND profile drag?

and...

From a THP standpoint, how is this any different from running the engine on a test bench?

Keeping in mind the definition of one horsepower (i.e. 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute), is there any useful work being done?
