Rich, while the site implied that there were aero applications, I was
unable to find any examples. Do you know, has this software actually
been applied to an aircraft turbine?

If not, then this is just still imaginitive conceptualizing.

Corky.........

I haven't seen any applications, either. It just came to mind that the
concept could apply to either turbines (which not too many of us have) or
recips. Kind of a maintenance god (note small "g") who would watch every
parameter of operation, leaving us to fly the plane. Or glider if it shuts
off the fan.

I hate to see those flat-panel displays in the new instrument panels going
to waste just displaying rpm, oil temp., EGT, etc. We only check the
readings every ten minutes or so, especially when flying over gorgeous
mountain terrain.

Imaginitive conceptualizing. Yup, that's what I was doing, alright.
