I'm looking at the Lycoming Operators Manual Performance Data Chart for for
the O-360-A1A....(page 3-51 in my manual). And after looking at this for a few min i need a beer. Does anyone know of a formula that covers this chart calculation...? I want to find the horsepower based on altitude, rpm, manifold pressure, and air inlet temp...just like the chart shows. I have a homegrown engine monitor that i fly with and want to add the calc for percent horsepower. thanks, Mark N515MD Mustang II Raleigh, NC. |

The best thing I have found for doing this is a circular sliderule sold
by Far West Aviation called the Power Wheel. This thing is pretty neat. Read about it he http://www.farwestaviation.com/about.html It condenses all the hard to read data from the graphs in the Lyc engine manual onto a circular scale that will give you the percent HP, including altitude, temperature, RPM, and M.P. It also gives a leaning recommendation base on their experience with detonation. They give a very extensive seminar of the topic. My only gripe is that some of the printing on my Power Wheel is a little muddy. Maybe I just got a less than perfect one. They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee so maybe I will call them up and see if they are all printed that way. |
