That is 130 mph on my econoline
If the numbers are true. which they are probably not. You have forward speed pressurizing the front of the blades.
I bet the fan losses at 60 mph (2000-2500 rpm) are about 1/8th that.
I fly electric RC planes and use a watt meter to measure the power input into the electric motor. The power used is not linear for speed.
