Greetings,
With all the talk of single
rotor power levels, everyone seems to be assuming that we'll get half of
what a 2 rotor gets for HP. One thing that we lose with the
single rotor is the scavenging effect that can be gained from the exhaust
flow of the other rotor. How much of a HP loss is
this?
My guess is that it won't
be much of a factor, but that's only a guess. My assumption is that there
isn't a huge difference in power between having two separate exhaust paths
(Ed) vs having a perfect converging exhaust on a two
rotor. Seeing as most of us never had a perfect converging system,
the diff will be even less. Is it significant enough to think about
for our purposes, where packaging is almost more important than outright
performance?
Cheers,
Rusty
