Rudderrudderrat,

If Oggers had wanted to accept the fact that propeller efficiency is zero when forward speed is zero, he just needed to read the Essay to which he referred on page 4 of this thread.

It includes a graph that is pretty much like yours, but it shows propeller efficiency against forward speed.

And it starts at zero-zero!
