Didn't know any production aircraft had that. Well, to some
extent
almost every lightplane does . that's why the carb air intake
faces
forwards in most of them.Everything is a balancing act with an
airplane. More air = more drag. You could try putting a couple
of
woks with tubes out the back to boost your MP, but you're going
to
pay for it. !Moooney must have spotted an area of the cowl that
would
not penalise you in this way and decided to utilise it. Really
clever
homebuilders do a lot of this kind of stuff as well as, and
probably
more more importantly, dealing with cooling drag.
Have you put the other speed mods on your airplane? I think
there's
nearly ten knots available in seals and various other tidy it up
fairings.

Dumb ass.

Its because the size of the scoop increases volume (not
pressure),
and
you already have too much.

Nope.

Bertie

How would you know, dumb ass?

I know everything, obviously.

Ram air is only as useful the allowing air to get to your carburater
faster but is not necessarily used. When your piston is on its intake
stroke(vaccum) your combustion chamber can only draw in enough air
that is in conjuction to the chambers volume and all other air that is
present after the compression stroke is exported to engines smog
devices and is recirculated only AFTER being filtered. All engines
come off the assembly lines, be it an airplane motor or a vehicle
motor, to draw the amount of air that it needs to run at opptimum
performance. Ram Air is a myth and don't try to throw "turbo" into
the conversation because turbo is recircualted exhaust and still has
unburnt fuel in the fumes.


Yeah, of course, As i think someone else pointed out elsewhere in this
thread, there were some installations where the prop was positioned to
provide a pulse at the time the intake valves opened. Easy on a four
cylinder. There were props made for these that had a slightly larger
chord at the point on the prop span where the intake was. Didn't seem to
become popular for whatever reason..
