Short summary

This comment clarifies the behavior of the one-dimensional momentum model used by Tyagi and Schmitz in the high- and low-tip-speed-ratio limits, explains the torque–power constraint in the limit λ→∞, states where model assumptions do not hold when equations are continued outside their domain, and notes reproducibility and citation issues.
