I have been reading the Briggs conversion messages.
I understand moment of inertia issues, twisting and bending to some extent, but what is the best way to arrive at a factual answer?
For example, X industrial engine can be used as a direct drive if the propeller weight is less than x and or RPM is less than X. If propeller weight is greater than X or RPM exceeds X, then a reduction drive must be used to handle the load.
Can this be calculated accurately using data from the engine manufacturers?
I am sure I am missing a fact or two, but you get the idea.
Thanks in advance
