I'm beginning my journey towards understanding my choices in engines. First up: what am I getting for each additional HP?
I know it would be too much to ask for experimental data from fitting a series of real engines with different HP ratings and real world differences in weight to the exact same airplane, right?
So, are there data on HP alone? That is, assuming we can determine what the HP is for a given MP (and whatever other variable affects an engines HP) then can we gather experimental data on what each additional HP does to rate of climb and airspeeds at a certain rate of fuel flow?
Do these charts exist?
