WITH the advent of VTOL aircraft, dynamic similarity has become increasingly important. VTOL performance is dependent upon propeller diameter or upon the cross-sectional area of a jet stream. Without understanding the effects of dynamic similarity, propeller ratings in thrust per horse-power may be misleading as a design criterion in equating aircraft size to a desired mission.
