As I said, you can drown a turbine if you put in too much water, but that's pretty hard to do. Turbines have excess air in the process and to...

It can, and up to 4 or 5% of inlet flow being water is a good thing. It tends to clean the compressor and as the water turns to steam in the...
As I said earlier and as you will see the more you dig into it, the Norwood cars really don't share much with the original P4. Yes they are made...
I'm sure the Norwood cars are evolving, some of the earlier ones were worse than horrible, but they have improved a great deal. the cowl is still...
Right on the money Jeff. Privatizing the ATC system is just a way to line the pockets of the airlines and screw the general aviation public....

Yup, kids today don't understand the ritual that occurred every 3,000 miles in those days.. Points, plugs and condenser(s) at every oil change...
True, but Fiats of the period (and even a bit later) weren't a paragon of reliability either (note: understatement of the week!!!).. Much...
I agree, the geometry just isn't there, you'd have to re-engineer the parts to modern standards and no one is going to do that.
100LL isn't as high in lead content as you may think. Yes, it has a lot of lead in it and anyone who has picked lead balls out of the lower spark...
Excuse me but this is all a bunch of horsepucky.... While these are indeed higher rpm engines in terms of their red line, they were also...
I used to refer to my 182 RG as my "time machine" because it allowed me to do things that I couldn't otherwise do just based on the time...
Excellent point....
