First time 3-views...sil vous plait everyone !
There is only one but in the scheme..if the engine looses 10% of the power to the transmission the estimated specs will not be quite as high since MAX will have to use lower pithed prop ( or nitrous oxide boost ) for take off...this has now become very interesting. Any transmission experts out there ?
NASA folks at Langley are working with the same problems ( Civetta looks down right ugly to me ); http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20060056430_2006259410.pdf
Transmission also caused trouble in the 2x weighted Bede-5B: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede_BD-5
Bede-5 albeit small is almost 3 times heavier with maximum take off weight of 530 kg than Max III with a light pilot and 22 hp engine.
