Didn't know any production aircraft had that. Well, to some extent
almost every lightplane does . that's why the carb air intake faces
forwards in most of them.Everything is a balancing act with an
airplane. More air = more drag. You could try putting a couple of
woks with tubes out the back to boost your MP, but you're going to
pay for it. !Moooney must have spotted an area of the cowl that would
not penalise you in this way and decided to utilise it. Really clever
homebuilders do a lot of this kind of stuff as well as, and probably
more more importantly, dealing with cooling drag.
Have you put the other speed mods on your airplane? I think there's
nearly ten knots available in seals and various other tidy it up
fairings.

Dumb ass.

Its because the size of the scoop increases volume (not pressure), and
you already have too much.




Nope.

Ram air is only as useful the allowing air to get to your carburater
faster but is not necessarily used. When your piston is on its intake
stroke(vaccum) your combustion chamber can only draw in enough air
that is in conjuction to the chambers volume and all other air that is
present after the compression stroke is exported to engines smog
devices and is recirculated only AFTER being filtered. All engines
come off the assembly lines, be it an airplane motor or a vehicle
motor, to draw the amount of air that it needs to run at opptimum
performance. Ram Air is a myth and don't try to throw "turbo" into
the conversation because turbo is recircualted exhaust and still has
unburnt fuel in the fumes.

I think you are quite wrong. Ram air in fact gives us a half inch or
so more manifold pressure, and that increases the total weight of the
air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Reduce your 'it doesn't matter
argument to an extreme to see how it fails.

As for turbos, the turbine is powered by the exhaust gasses coming
from the engine, the exhaust gas itself is not reintroduced into the
cylinders. The turbine itself could be powered by an electric motor,
for that matter. That was the model for my tongue in cheek comment
about using a shop vac to increase manifold pressure.

dave the term is not foo and bar.
foo *is* a term from another war and another airforce
but the term you've so successfully stuffed up is fubar
fubar is a vietnam era acronym of F***ed up beyond all recognition.

your sig line is a snafu
(situation normal all F***ed up)

Yore 'rong. foo and bar are metasyntactic variables. They aren't
acronyms (they're metasyntactic variables).

Like being the John and Jane Doe of computer engineering - placeholders.

Fubar predates WWII.

The air going into the manifold has the same atmospheric weight as if
it was outside the manifold, what makes it denser is the addition of
fuel into the air/fuel mixture, unless the air is in a perfect vaccum
it will not increase in pressure and most certainly not density and
the turbos do reintroduce fuel back into the combustion mixture, If
you've ever seen a read out of carbon emissions for a non turbo
vehicle it still has enough unburnt fuel to power your vehicle for
another 5% of your fuel consumption and turbos IF powered by a
motorized turbine are as useless as ram air because of the statement I
made in my previous post. your intake is only as much as the volume of
your cylinders

I retract that last statement, turbos are not useless, I would be
contradicting myself if I said they were.

Turbocharging can be set to two different levels:
Turbonormalizing, which brings manifold pressure to sea level
pressure; and boosting, which raises manifold pressures to more than
30" Hg. If an engine is boosted, the air density in the cylinder at
the bottom of the intake stroke could be well above atmospheric.
