No mention of whether that higher static thrust is at some reference RPM, or when it's receiving some fixed X horsepower from the prop. shaft, or what.
From a quick search of the article, I see nothing connecting the 15% figure to efficiency.
Static thrust is plausibly measured with the airplane sitting still on the ground - which is helpful at the start of your take-off run, but probably not a metric that's worth any optimization.
