To my understanding the wider blades grab more air but also create more drag even when pitched.
There are trade-offs to everything.
-The engine only produces so much rpm and torque inside an optimised fuel-efficiency gph target.
-The airframe is designed for low heavy cargo and slow torque conditions vs. sleek speed and high altitudes.
-2 wide straight paddles versus 5 spiral type propellers will result in entirely different results. There's definitely an applied science in effect when they design them.
