I have the transmission mounted on a
Corvette LS 1 engine. The transmission was engineered to
handle 600hp. The LS 1 has 350hp at 5600 rpm. It has 350
ft-lbs torque at 4200 rpm (approx #s). For takeoff, the
engine will develop 350 hp at 5600 rpm and the 84 inch Ivo-prop
will be turning at 2700 rpm. For cruise, the engine will
be run at 4200 rpm and the prop will be turning at 2700
rpm. (ABSOLUTE RED LINES)
I did the
ground testing with a Subaru 2.2 L engine on my Q-200.
This was the test stand. I did taxi tests in both gears
and the performance was as expected. The thrust instrument
I used for static tests was not calibrated and very crude.
It showed slightly less than what could be expected for
the 2.2L. I will in the future run tests on a 3.3L Subaru,
but that will be after getting the Bearhawk flying and
tested completely.
