Re: Air Hummer
Well, if it worked, it would truly be a big thing. Lack of waste heat recovery is a major bummer in aircraft turbine engines.
Somehow, if it did work, I doubt people would be putting it into an 'Air Hummer' first.

Re: Air Hummer
Why not? If nothing else, recovering waste heat means reducing thermal footprint, and thus making it less susceptible to attack using low-tech IR missiles. Looking at the available information, glide and autorotation don't seem to be terribly strong features, so if it loses its engines it's gonna turn from "air hummer" to "air brick" :)Bruno Ogorelec wrote:Well, if it worked, it would truly be a big thing.

Plus, fuel economy means either longer missions or more killing power.

Re: Air Hummer
I know that it would be excellent theoretically. After all, I've been preaching heat recuperation on pulsejets for years, to all and sundry, to the puzzlement of seemingly everyone.
What I doubt is that a serious, practical solution light enough to be used on a flying machine would be employed on a 'flying brick' first. For me, it's an alarm bell.

Re: Air Hummer = Air Brick
I love the way its subtly changed from Air Hummer to Air Brick in such a short time, personally I have a lot of alarm bells ringing over this one, it would be interesting to see some real detail and real third party validation of the claims as its easy to just rattle off techno mumbo jumbo as investors are not normally very technical people.
