A couple of days ago, I downloaded a Diamond HK36 motor glider for Flight
Simulator. Upon closer inspection of it, I found out that it has no mixture control lever, but it has a low-power turbocharger. So it got me wondering: 1.) does the real aircraft have that and 2.) can it be possible that, since a motor glider is not required to climb very high, this system would be installed to make operations simpler? It would make sense, since the charger would supply the engine with near-sea-level air density up to the altitude from which it could begin the glide, so mixture control would be unnecessary. If this does exist on real-world aircraft, what are the advantages and disadvantages of that system? And does this system simplify or aid in any way in starting the engine in-flight? Triple Delta |
