I fly out of Dallas just under Bravo airspace a lot and in the summers I go for
elevator rides in the plane...these are not only thermals and are unpredictable
but so is latent wake turbulence from the heavies that passed above your
airspace and may affect you as that turbulent air descends and
Thanks for posting this Mark. Two weeks ago I flew commercial to Detroit. When
we took off from Midway we were climbing out into perfectly smooth air and
without any warning whatsoever we hit a bump that felt like I had driven over a
speed bump at seventy. But it was only one single bump.
We were taught that birds tuck and dive if they feel threatened so we were
advised to fly over rather than under large birds

I'm not sure where that came from. Takeoff ground roll was shorter than with
the piston engine. Pattern speeds are not changed by the engine type. Maybe
you thought the climb rate of over 2000 fpm was the takeoff ground roll. High
fuel consumption, ...yes. Coolness factor, ...off the
Wow! Blast from the past. It's a vane type air pump. Maybe 4-5 psi
boost. From the late 50's to mid 60's. Designed and marketed for small 4
cylinder European cars in the 1.5L to 2.5L engines. I never saw one for
Corvairs.
Here is some neat history..
Sounds really cool & I'm definitely interested. Please keep us infomed.
