When TAS = zero prop efficiency = zero, so the 100% efficiency assumption cannot be used.
I guess I'm having problems understanding what zero prop efficiency means. It seems a piston/propellor combination has the most thrust when velocity is zero, as Keith has said earlier

So....with a stationary aircraft and the engine at full power, we have the max thrust the engine/propellor combination can produce, but zero prop efficiency?
