An excellent disertation, Hartmut. Just two comments:
* The physics of the four-cycle, normally asperated
engine dictate their power loss with altitude, not
their design. All engines are basically air pumps.
The more air pumped, the more power derived.
But when there is less air to start with...
* Sport Pilot, to which we may all have to go as our
age advances, does not allow (to my recollection)
any thing but normally asperated engines! Bummer.
As to you, Larry. Fred W. designed the `coupe as
an 'honest hundred miles-an-hour airplane.' I did not
think it was true when I first flew 29H. That was in
Roswell, New Mexico; field elevation 3,666 and hot.
When I entered the Willamette Valley, I had to
check at my first landing to see where they installed
the afterburner!
