Thanks Vance.

The disk loading for a typical general aviation airplane is in the
range 10 HP per square foot to 3.3 HP per square foot roughly.

That is a disk area of 28 square feet to 30 square feet and a HP
range of 100 to 300 HP. As you can see this effect is important in
the early low speed acceleration phase of of taking off. Once the aircraft
reaches flying speed its importance rapidly decreases.
