STOL Kits
This video covers STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) Kits that can be added to a wing to produce more stable flight characteristics at lower airspeeds.
Covered are the Sportsman, Horton and Robertson STOL Kits, as well as Vortex Generators (VGs). We cover "bang for the buck" as well as what is incorporated into each system.

1968 Cessna 185E Pass
มุมมอง 5217 ปีที่แล้ว
A 185E making a low pass to scare away the deer before landing. Since the Placerville Airport was fenced in recently, some deer have been trapped inside and occasionally dart across the runway during take off and landing.

    An easier way to explain it is that the turbo replaces what normal atmosphere loses as you gain height.

    Any manifold pressure higher than local ambient altimeter pressure is turbocharging… Any manifold pressure equal to local ambient altimeter pressure is turbonormalizing…. How it is done becomes irrelevant.

    Even if it is only turbo normalised, there is still extra heat because you can’t compress air without heating it.

    I flew a 1960 M20A from Santiago, Chile to DCA in 1968, a 6,900 mile flight overall. The Mooney was the sweetest plane to fly, fast, very efficient, a wooden-wing charmer. And I miss her....

    The very first Mooney m20's had a wonderful all wood wing! It gave a nice smooth ride in turbulence because the wood wing would flex and smooth out some of the shock. But, alas! If left out in the weather, this wood could deteriorate and weaken. So about 1960 or so mooney had to go to all metal. Sad. I loved flying those wood wings!

  • @nocotton
    @nocotton 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Question: From what I gathered on this video, it seems that turbochargers are not helpful until reaching a certain altitude? If that's the case, why are ground bound machines such as tractors, trucks, cars, etc. equipped with turbochargers?

    • @Virtualmix
      @Virtualmix 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not related to altitude but to power developed. Under 6000' the Cessna engine doesn't need a turbo to develop the power required to reach 2400 RPM (max power for a given propeller) because the air/fuel ratio (15:1) can be obtain at atmospheric pressure. Over 6000' the air is less dense therefore the 15:1 air/fuel ratio can't be sustained, resulting in a power drop and RPM drop; fortunately the pilot has room to increases power because when he pushes the throttle further the turbo kicks-in and squeeze some compressed air into the mix, allowing to keep the 15:1 ratio and the propeller spinning at around 2400 RPM - that's why turbo airplanes have a higher ceiling than non-turbo. On the ground, variations in air density aren't a critical factor. If an airplane can develop around 2400 RPM without a turbo, then additional power wouldn't be useful (you can only rotate a prop so fast, after which it breaks). On a tractor however, the driver can change gear and use this extra power to create more torque and climb a steep hill for example. Also, for equal power, turbo engine are generally more fuel efficient than naturally aspirated engines (with some drawbacks but that's another discussion). Hope this makes sense.

    • @nocotton
      @nocotton 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Virtualmix Thanks. Everything you said makes sense, but I'm still thinking of applications like the Cessna 188 Ag Husky from years past. I believe the only difference in it and the 188 Ag Truck was turbocharging and 10 more hp, and of course they generally worked just above ground level, usually at low-elevation regions. So, I do believe there's a benefit of turbocharging at or near sea level as well. Otherwise, they wouldn't be installed on performance cars, tractors, heavy trucks, etc.These units don't normally operate in any high altitude conditions, yet still yield more performance than their normally aspirated counterparts. Agreed?

    • @Virtualmix
      @Virtualmix 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@nocotton Yes, they can absolutely make use of more power at sea level, simply install a bigger propeller that produce more thrust and get better performance. On the Cessna in the video, the to manufacturer could have installed a bigger propeller but choose instead to use that extra power as a reserve for higher altitudes when the power starts to drop.

    • @otterspocket2826
      @otterspocket2826 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@nocotton - It's just a matter of ramming as much air as possible in so you can ram more fuel in too. The limiting factor in an aircraft at lower levels them becomes the design limitations of the propeller, which obviously doesn't apply to land vehicles so they can use the extra power where an aircraft can't. It's only the maximum permitted output that's limited, not the maximum available. My Dad drove Centurion tanks in the 50's, powered by the RR Meteor engine (basically a Merlin without superchargers), but the first ones he drove had an actual Merlin, and nobody was impressed when they had to give up that extra 'something'.
