Flight Test Results Jim Richards jrichards jrichards@aerodyme.com Hi All,

Our results from today's best rate and best angle trials are attached below. As you may notice, Vy has moved down by about 14 KIAS versus the factory 114. Hmmm. Can you do this with just an engine change? Here's one guess: the angle of attack is steep enough that the downward component of prop thrust starts to become very meaningful. Think tilt rotor takeoff...

Thoughts?

Jim
