I don't expect any turboprop airplane to run out of poop in the low teens. Max rated thermo hp isn't the issue, it's running out of it before getting to an altitude where acceptable gains in true airspeed are made. The real question is how much power is available and the specific fuel consumption in let's say between 9,000-15,000 msl. Again, unless they've made some big changes in the powerplant, you don't need to worry about getting too "high" unpressurised. TC You're a turbine guy, you should be familiar with the effects/affects of altitude with respect to turbine temp and available power produced at altitude. Unless things have changed one heckuva lot since I researched one for a customer, the turbine A36 needs one heckuva lot more compressor. TC |
