Fuel Cells?

: snip The Antares has a windmilling sinkrate of 1.25 m/s, with the prop running freely. So if you start braking the prop it'll be much more. Are you sure of this? My understanding is that a stationary prop has less drag than a freely turning one (counterintuitively!). Therefore, one would then surmise that the drag would decrease as you slow the prop down by loading it with charging. Larry "01" -- zero one - USA
