Yes.

Cool. But the FAA doesn't show anyone with that name who has as much as an instrument ticket. Must be tough in that PC-12.

You are new here and looks like you have a great way of making friends. LOL

Fact- main bearing clearance is different for different operating temps. Boats generally run cooler, hence larger clearance. Regardless of bearing auto engines have many differences from Maine engines, fact.

I see in your LinkedIn you are a Maritime engineer from the 1990’s. So you for sure would understand before closed cooling Marine engines had larger bearing clearance. The new closed cooling marine engines have thermostats that regulate the operating temp to the same as auto engines. So in that case the bearing is the same. But the rest of the motor is not the same Different cams and valves, etc.. Which again proves they are not the same.

Fact Marine engines are not the same as Auto engines. If they were Mercury Marine, Marine Power, Teague Marine, and Ilmore marine wound not be what they are today. All the boat manufacturers would just buy GM crate motors which they do not for many reasons. Kind of like why Piper does not buy auto crate engines.

Interesting that you went to school in 1990 and didn’t have any work until 20
Years later. You look pretty young to have been in college in 1990. Or maybe that was your attempt at humor? Hahaha ha ha.

Other than supposedly taking some engineer classes what actual experience do you have in the marine engine biz? I do not have a PHD in marine engines but I would bet I have built with my own hands more marine engines than you have. In fact I have literally taken a GM 502 crate motor and changed the bearings for larger clearance before I added new cam, new heads and a Whipple Supercharger. This motor made over 1000hp on the dyno and ran for over 800 hours, which is a lot for a blown marine engine. How many marine engines have you built?

I don’t know what you think you are accomplishing here but it sure seems unproductive.

Could be. It was a GM Crate engine. This was in the late 80s, I was a teenager and the mechanics allowed me to spend a couple days helping. I probably slowed down the install a fair amount :D

To answer your very wise and thoughtful "perhaps".... I don't know for sure. But what I believe is he will be within 75% of his range number and 90%++ of his cruise TAS speed if.....

The powerplant/redrive system holds together. Think that is the single biggest risk. And I am feeling better and better about that as he sorts things out.

Have zero concerns about the ship flying/performing above and beyond what are acceptable for any one off experimental.


I take it that you're asking some questions you already know the answers to, so maybe you're leading others to burst their own bubbles. Either way, I didn't mean the poking holes thing negatively. I don't have the knowledge to poke holes or even question the technical arguments here.

Thanks for stating your estimates. I think that's useful to hear. Clearly you're seeing something in this design that most of us aren't.

My ignorant, not-backed-by-anything-technical guess puts me squarely in the naysayer camp: the Raptor may perform (if it goes on a diet, if the engine produces power and stays cool at altitude, if the redrive system doesn't explode, if...), but 3600nm on 7gph at 208kts carrying 677lbs for $130k is so far beyond on the market that it's unrealistic.

I feel good enough about that to place a bet, but it's based on feelings and beliefs and other non-technical things.

Somehow, I foresee this project being limited by physics and dying by economics.


It's not the car engine, it's not the sorta out there explanations of area rule, it's not the optimistic 5.5 psi cabin pressure differential with expansive windows, the incredibly low projected flying price.

Or heck, maybe it is.

Aviation is financed on wishes.

I will. With the factory manuals. The answer is they are THE EXACT SAME.

Surprisingly... the specs for the connecting rods, cam shaft, cylinder heads, cylinder bores, exhaust manifold, pistons, piston pins, piston rings, and valve system....

are all..

you guessed it... THE EXACT SAME.

I think I know the answer... But I am guessing like everyone else. No one will be the owner of the truth till we see it fly. If you look at a total drag chart over given speeds for any polar/power combo you will see that parasitic drag climbs exponentially with airspeed while induced drag actually decreases. Am just trying to make the case that...

1.) Weight matters not. Except to shift the polar left or right on the speed axis. (Best l/d) and on total service ceiling. It effects climb performance but less so than overall polar constraints. (The Pawnee loaded to gross vs the Pawnee over gross if you consider the mass of the glider it is towing.)
2.) Weight has zero effect on parasitic drag.
3.) Parasitic drag is 95%++ the determine factor in cruise speed/power needed/fuel burn.
4.) The polar of this ship is closer to a glider than anything else know of on the market in it's class. That will have a non-linear out sized impact on performance.

If I am wrong in those assertions, I am happy to reconsider my opinion. All the challenges so far come from lack of understanding of the above.

Will be fun to watch.

This is exactly true. The ones that are reverse rotation are for duel engine direct drive so the engine and prop torque counteract each other.

I am. Expect they with tether it and run it flat out for an extended time with cowling on (test the cooling and sustained power under the worst possible cooling conditions) before they fly it. All indications are right now things are moving in the right direction. Was telling to see the amount of runway it did not eat up getting to get to 70 knts in the last vid given the 1000lbs of thrust. Compare that to other birds "in the class."

you guessed it... THE EXACT SAME.

Questions?



You use an example of a closed cooling gen set to prove your point. Haha classic. What I said was true, in general automotive engines are different than Marine engines.

What is your personal experience with Marine engine building? How many boat motors that move boats have you built? Or does your experience end at the mouse and keyword.

Again I ask what is your experience on the topics you pretend to know so much about?

How old are you? Show us your FAA pilot info? You went to college in 1990 but didn’t get work until 2012? Lots of questions you are bringing up. More than you are answering.

Damn it I went against my word to not post. I really tried to stay away. LOl.

Mike
