Reverse scoop
A forward air scoop gets high pressure - air ram. Does a rear facing
scoop generate low pressure (suction)? |

Fun...
-- Dan D. .. "Bill Daniels" wrote in message news:GWGec.23554$wP1.53847@attbi_s54... Nothing new here. Back in the 1960's the late Dave Johnson had the glider tow contract at the Air Force Academy using Super Cubs with his 180 HP STC. His maintenance facilities were at another nearby airport. Whenever a Cub came up lame at the AFA, Dave would remove the prop and attach a tow hook he had made long ago for just such emergencies. Then he would use one of its stalemates to air-tow the Cub back home where the mechanics waited for it. Sometimes they had to wait a little longer when the pilot of the propless Cub would climb away in Rocky Mountain thermals after releasing - on one occasion for three hours of silent flight.
