|
Just got back from the Reno Air Races. I'm always most interested in seeing what the Formula planes and sport planes do for speed.
The first pic is a Glasair. He had the same engine (Lycon) as many other sport planes. He was the last one around the track. I tried this cooling exit ramp. It doesn't work.
The second pic is a wanna be NACA scoop. I really wanted to just write "See NACA ACR No. 5120" on the plane.
The third pic is a throttle body inlet. Now, this guy did his homework.
I had to include this. The description says it's a V-3410. If you read the book, Allied Aircraft Engines, you see it's a W-3410. 2600 hp.

Gary,
Very cool pics. I didn't get out to the races this year. Maybe next year.
Allison engines were cool. While not as highly regarded as the Merlin, they were well designed and assembled. Allison went as far as taking the basic V-1710 and turbo-compounded it, naming it the V-1710-E22. Normal max power was 2300 hp with over 3000 hp available for War Emergency. Shame it never came into service.
Would you explain what you like about that inlet?
Thanks.
Bruce Smith
