Well at least you read data, CTR. Now read the tilt rotor data with the
same vigor! Just as I left off the minor load reduction for the 53 (2 tanks at 800 lbs each, not the mysterious, non-existant 3,000 lbs), I left off the wing tip tank weight for the V22, and did not discount the payload by the 2,000 lbs shown on the Navy web site. As a little exercise for you, now that you are finally reading data, find these V22 reductions and reduce the V22 payload, too. Don't make too much of your new found knowledge, CTR, note that my chart shows the CH53E carrying 5000 lbs to 900 nm, and so does the Sikorsky data (which I gave you, BTW). My chart is quite accurate, thank you, CTW. I do admire how you decided to take over this debate by continually trying to find the 'missing" 3,000 pounds, but you never discuss the fact that the V22 carries 2,000 lbs less than I show! Nice work, CTR. Nick "CTR" wrote in message oups.com... Nick, You need to look a little closer at the data from Sikorsky at : http://www.sikorsky.com/file/popup/1,,185,00.pdf Did you even notice those steps in the load range curve? Or didn't you read your own data? Those drops in load capability correspond with the added weight of the external and internal fuel tanks required to meet the 1120 KM range. These steps in load carrying capability total over 3,000 LBS (why does that number sound familiar). So if you plan to fly the CH-53 over 470 KM you need to add over 3,000 LBS of fuel system hardware. This of course reduces the CH-53 paylod capability by ..... (pause for added drama) over 3,000 LBS. So how sure are you about the rest of your data? Have fun, CTR |
