Regards, George """ From the data presented at Ada on engine cooling, it is the dogged attention to detail design that pays the dividends when it comes to keeping our engines cool. The only real benefit to a plenum, besides looking totally cool, is that you have eliminated possible leakage paths for the incoming air. The downside is that you have a reduced volume in which to decelerate the high-velocity low-pressure air into a more useful, lower drag, low-velocity high-pressure air source. """
