All,
I am one of the new guys. I have been looking forward to opening some sort of dialogue concerning these Deltahawk engines for some time now. I do have some questions only slightly not as dumb as the question that doesn't get asked. Alas, of concern to me.
I have been watching for their 200 hp version. Taking into account the effect of Density Altitude on normally aspirated engines or Fuel injected for that matter, it would seem that having a manifold pressure of 54 inches at 17900+ feet that the DA would would have little effect on engine performance. This would include Take off, climb, and cruise, in terms of power. An honest 200 HP at all altitudes (that we would likely be at), well for fuel economy say 75%. But that is 75% of 200 HP verses 75% of what is available at a given DA (density altitude). What effect would haveing this 75% of 200 HP have on say cruise speed at a given altitude?
Speak your minds. Thank you
