What is the range of ratios between optimal propeller efficiency and true propeller efficiency?
In https://aviation.stackexchange.com/a/15383/20394, the optimal prop efficiency is given as:
$$\eta^{opt}_{Prop} = \frac{1 - \frac{\Delta v\cdot \left({v_{\infty} + \frac{\Delta v}{2}}\right)}{d_P^2\...
