    lightest 30hp - 50 hp hybrid sustainer engine

    Easy...Wankel Rotary DFI engine running in Atkinson cycle mode. Or even Miller cycle if the overall weight numbers, SC, Intercooling + Wankel, add up. Light weight carbon fiber positive displacement SC might equal "lighter" Wankel engine. To easy.

    Another hybrid/electric thread

    Re: Next configuration to be discussed: Boomerang configuration and other multi-pods What's the REAL difference between a brushless DC motor and a multiphase AC synchronous motor...?? Used as a motor... Used as generator... Answer:....NONE...!!!! Other than stator/rotor functions reversed.

    Electric/Electronic PSRU.

    Video of precision, intricate, machinery in operation, HUGE sledgehammer nearby, clse at hand, just in case. What's with that..?

    Winglets...

    If winglets, "spoilers" integrated into commercial aircraft wing tip trailing edges, are effective to the level stated, then why not "winglets" integrated into prop tip trailing edges...???

    Multimode Wankel Rotary..??

    15:1 base/native compressor ratio, DFI, Intercooled SuperCharging. Three rotationally displaced intake ports, automatic (engine ECU) shutoff valves for # 2 & 3. 50% power setting: Both auxillary intake ports are closed and SC produces only enough intake pressure, partial "cylinder fill", to...

    303cc sachs wankel in a minimax

    Has no one considered a Wankel rotary engine with an Atkinson cycle? Wouldn't a rotationally displaced inlet port lower the compression stroke pressure while maintaining the power stroke equal?

    Centrifugal Impellor in place of Axial Ducted Fan

    Has anyone even tried, experimented with, squirrel cage motors as ducted fans? Even in an RC model.. My idea is to horizontally mount 2 counter-rotating squirrel cage blowers in each wing as close to the wing root as possible. During the takeoff run the intake would only be on the top of the...
