PSRU design advantages
Dan Horton wrote:
There is nothing that eliminates a long shaft from the design of a PSRU. Nonbelievers might be advised to consider ship propulsion; long shafts, low cylinder counts, propellers operating in uneven flow, often via a gearbox. Sound familiar? Yes, but they use mass for damping like solid shafts. Weight is nowhere near the issue it is for aircraft. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |
