max_Thrust_propellers = 508 pounds
- Speed_plane = 70 miles/hour
- Power_engine = 40 HP

the efficiency of the propellers results as being 237%. Impossible! Case closed!
You got those numbers so wrong as to be laughable, and I'm not giving you the correct figures. Hint - Attend a physics lesson and learn the correct formula. I'm coming to the distinct impression that glendalegoons assessment of you was correct, as have the pilotsofamerica.
