..what had me wondering is the eng-rpm in the turbine-engine section,
where these word of wisdom appears: ;o)
eng-rpm: The engine RPM at which eng-power is developed.
Note that this is "shaft" RPM as seen by the
propeller. Don't use a gear-ratio on the enclosing
propeller, or else you'll get confused. :)
..not a problem for the B-29, might possibly be for the turbo-prop
Guppies. ;o)
