Hey, yeller, try posting also in the engine section below. A lot of good engine gurus frequent there.

Thanks, moper, that sure makes sense. I can see how a progressive combustion can aid the power stroke. It amazes me that engineers can time the sequences so precisely in such a rapidly moving rotating assembly. I am trying to remember what my dad told me about flying the Lockheed...

Thanks, Pat, that is a great concise treatise on combustion chamber design. From a purely theoretical power production standpoint, is it better to have instantaneous combustion throughout the entire combustion chamber or to have a moving flame front type of combustion event? (Of course, this...

Excellent info and discussion here, fellas. I, too, have heard the term 'quench' thrown around for a few years without totally understanding it. So, to get back to basics, the concept was developed to propagate the flame front in a way with very high speed movement of fuel/air mix away from...

The only thing that comes to my feeble mind is to have the heads cc'd.
