Every other vehicle I can think of provides some kind of dampening between the engine and final drive. Would make a tremendous deference in creature comforts, if not reliability as well. Reliability? Wouldn't it just be adding another potential point of failure? Well I suppose it could, but certainly wouldn't have to be a given. Torsional vibration devices in other vehicles don't seem to be common causes of wear or failure. But the amount of vibration they can eliminate, could very be helpful in reducing fatigue in other systems. It might even be useful in reducing weight of things like the prop itself. |
