There are two sets of numbers: One is the Diameter of the propeller, and the other one is the Effective Pitch of the propeller.
Effective pitch:
It is the axial distance traveled by the propeller for one complete rotation of the propeller.
Greater the effective pitch value, faster the aircraft flies.
Usually, slow fliers or the beginner models will have an SF (slow flyer) prop with a smaller effective pitch value.
For example, if the propeller is numbered as 10*5, then 10 inches is the diameter of the propeller, and it can travel 5 inches ahead per rotation.
HAPPY FLYING!
