Ernest,

what do you call "so much higher"?
A few days ago I read about a Lycoming application in some experimental
plane, mentioning some 1400º or 1700º???
This seems to me like right at the Rotary level? Maybe it is not the heat
after all, but rather the high frequency shockwaves?
Just can't find the article - but I do remember wondering about the numbers
as they seem rather high, but would make Rotaries look normal or even
cool....
