Performance tests
Hi Ivan,
I thought Iīd dare and set up some numbers, for the climbing tests, at the cost of being perhaps boring... but they do illustrate how this is working in spite of our narrow manoeuvering margin.
For example, a summary of the last test with normal (12% Horsepower) friction at 35.0 - Times are in minutes and seconds:
-------------------------------------------
Ft Alt:...500.....3281....4300.....6562.....9843
KTAS......46.......48........49.......50.........5 2
FPM......287......312......322......268.......191
RPM.....1264....1307....1333.....1352.....1344
HP.........204.....223......227......208.......182
Times:...1:45...10:30...14:00...21:15....35:30
aim:................11:00.............27:00....55: 00
time diff:.........- 0:30...........- 5:45.....-19:30
Lev.flight 4300 ft: 70kt, 257 hp, 1436 RPM.
Aim:.................. 70kt, 267 hp, 1450 RPM.
500 ft:............... 65kt, 217 hp, 1320 RPM.
--------------------------------------------------
Now, the best so far with Friction increased to 80.0, Torque correctly compensated:
--------------------------------------------------
FT Alt:......500.....3281.....4300.....6562.......984 3
KTAS........46.........48.........49........50.... .......53
FPM........292........308.......308......246...... ....164
RPM.......1280......1333......1348....1340........ 1322
HP...........215........223.......223.....200..... .....172
Times:.....1:50.......10:50....14:00...22:10...... 38:20
aim:.....................11:00...............27:00 .....55:00
time diff:.............- 0:10...............- 4:50...-16:20
Lev.flight 4300 ft: 70kt, 257 hp, 1448 RPM.
Aim:.................. 70kt, 267 hp, 1450 RPM.
500 ft:............... 64kt, 216 hp, 1319 RPM.
----------------------------------------------------
Results are very similar below rated altitude, but readings above that, are better by 1 and 3 minutes. A slight torque reduction gave even better climb results there, by another 1 and 2 minutes, but at the cost of level flight, which was 3 Kt too low because of insufficient RPM for the turbo to set in.
Well, now Iīll see what happens with Friction at 100!!
Cheers,
