Yeah, I get that too. That’s why I said this package is going to be great up until the point the warranty expires.

Yeah, I missed that on the first read-through:

I hear you, brother. I figured he had probably just regurgitated some PR byline, but wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing something important.

Right. I totally understand the reason for an integrated exhaust manifold as it pertains to reducing lag (improving boost threshold/throttle response). I am trying to understand how the author perceives that this will improve combustion efficiency, as was stated in the original article.

In what way does having the exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head make combustion more efficient? Unless they are using waste heat to pre-heat the fuel for better atomization, I can’t see any way that this would make combustion more efficient.

Somebody finally fucking nailed it.

Dude. Seriously.

Seriously. I got excited for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld after reading through their reddit AMA. The primary thing I have learned since then is that their reality consists of broad, overarching, hand-waving responses to issues that actually affect Americans and is quickly overshadowed by their utter ignorance on…

I miss Troy exactly not at all.

Oh, my dealer was never disrespectful.

Having owned both a BMW and a Cadillac, I can tell you for certain that this is a large part of the reason that I made the switch. My 135i was an awesome car, but the experience was often upset by driving 60 miles one-way with a stuttering fuel pump or tooling around in a 328i loaner while they were…

Possibly, probably! Just hard to say, since it’s a Greek aircraft.

The effect of the thinner air is actually more of an engine limitation. The engines in that aircraft have a turbine gas temperature limiter. If you exceed that limit, it causes rotor to droop (bleed off, slow down). Lift varies with the square of the velocity of the airfoil (or air over the wing), so when the rotor…

Haha, landing upside down isn’t a standard procedure, sadly. In the rotary-wing world, we call that a crash.

It’s called a return-to-target. It’s a maneuver employed after over-flying a potential target. You exchange airspeed for altitude and quickly reorient the weapons platform and sensors at the target area.

Wish I could, brother. You would have to be a serious VIP (brigade commander or higher) or a technical observer (employed by Boeing, GE, or another parts supplier). Else I would be handing out rides all year long!

Keep in mind that I am in the US Army, so this all may not apply to a Greek aircraft...

Definitely pilot error.

You could very well be correct! I was relying on information from an old dealer info sheet/FAQ released after their announcement that they were going to employ credits to deal with the US2010 release. The training material you saw could also refer to an increase in mass flow rates whereas my info sheet could refer to…
