How high can you fly?

You're plane isn't pressurized because it will implode, so you're wearing a pressurized body suit. You have an oxygen mask. You plane is powered by a very powerful brushless electric motor supplied by a 20lb carbon nanotube source that is basically limitless. Your powerplant is equivalent to 700hp in an LSA. The electric motor and cabin are heated. How high can you fly? 95,000ft? Gibberish. Eludication: my sentence ends in a question mark. The figure was discriminate and taken from reference to U-2 heights. Airfoils stop working in thin density. I asked when. I wan't talking about the last sentence; your entire post is gibberish.. Little airplanes aren't presurized because the seals to keep things like doors and windows from leaking are heavy. A soda can can hold 100 psi. Little planes aren't pressurized because the ones I'm proposing aren't currently able to reach anywhere near these elevations. Given the heights I'm proposing, the airframe will buckle if the cabin is pressurized. Fact. If the airplane went into space and the interior were pressurized to sea level, the pressure diffential would be about 14 psi. The extremely thin aluminum in a soda can holds a pressure differential of 100 psi. The Apollo craft were pressurized and the skin on them is so thin the average person could punch a hole through it bare handed. You are full of crap. And you bet the electric motor is heated, you will play hell keeping it cool, even at altitude. Brushless DC motors are different from conventional ones. All motors have loss and the loss shows up as heat. Cooling things at altitude is a problem because even though the air is cold, it is very thin and you have to move a lot of it. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I studied the topic of service ceilings as well as ramifications of what can occur at this elevation. Do the same and find out about airframe distortion, pressure loss and break-ups. It's aviation 101, not Coke can 101. You can stand on an upright egg collection. You can stand on a coke can. Your anologys are laughable. Spacecraft are made different than Cessnas. Babbling nonsense. Read for content. Air density and cooling aren't relevant to a sealed unit. Cooling is especially relevant for heat producing sealed units. Are you sure you aren't around 12 years old? -- Jim Pennino Er, I'm trying to go do something else and rushing answers. Clarification: With regard to the cooling of a sealed brushless motor, your concerns and comments about air density are basically irrelevant. They cool differently than open typical electric motors that rely on air circulation. Better? Allrighty then. --- Mark ps. If you think I'm 12 then why are you debating with a child. And why is this child kicking your... forget it. Think about these conversations next May when you look at the car lot. |
