Hi Bud,
I am not an aerodynamicst, not even an amature one but I was wondering
why you didn't think the Kiev blades will be much of an improvement over
the Warp Drive blades. The reason I ask is that I do know that I get an
increase in TAS up to about 10,000' with my AP332 Warpdrive / 914T
combination, but after the speed doesnt increase much.
I hear from the Whirlwind folks that this is not the case for them, higher
faster.
Given that something isn't happening as expected I am concluding that there
is some design parameter(s) that are not appropriate for a an aircraft that
flies at Europa speeds / altitudes.
Any insight that you could share with me would be appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
