I don’t think anyone can answer this
question at the moment although I understand it’s being looked into.
What can be done however is help explain what makes John Cook’s airplane different.
Like other ProJets, it began as a piston IVP kit. It was modified using a
Turbine Solutions (Chris Skoppe) designed Lancair Turbine retrofit kit. Some
major differences with this kit are the shape of the 35 gal belly tank, a
different fuel system including an air / fuel separator. It’s powered
with a Diemech / Walter 601-D engine. It utilizes a Turbine
Solution’s designed and supplied pressurization unit – which works much
like the King Air Flowpac although it looks very different - made specifically
for the Lancair Propjet. John has the optional baggage area fuel tank
(that I believe is 20 gals). I am told that John flies with conservative
power settings with his ITT in the low - mid 600’s. I’ve
never had the pleasure of flying with John but he does appear to be getting exceptional
range for a Turbine – at least from what we’ve seen on Flightaware.
This is a job for an Aerospace Engineer.
Hope this helps.
Joe

Ok, why is this... according to Lancair,, the D won't
pressurize the plane.
Is anything that they told me true?
Why would they lie about this stuff anyway?
Joe B,, your not a liar are you?
What makes this plane faster?

In my last post I forgot to
mentioned that the 290 knts was the fastest time for the e engine
on www.flightaware.com Most of
the times they were around 260 knts to 270 knts I could also help
by divulging the tail numbers John Cooks - N213JC is faster by as much as
50 knts
/
others are N420M / N9xW / 750LC take a look
for yourself and see the difference
