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.
