Or several.  Ask a couple neighbors if you can borrow one for a few minutes.  I measured the air exiting mine at 80mph.  Once I get my oil and water coolers integrated, I'm going to walk down the street asking everyone to borrow theirs.  Line them up in front of the wing and turn 'em loose.  You could get three in that box without much trouble.


I must have a wimpy leaf blower.  I think the measurement I made right
at the nozzle of 3" h20 is about 80 mph.  That wasn't uniform over the
opening either, so the average would have been less.
