Mike, Thanks for your input . . . Darn, I used an example that was too easy. I am more interested in the mathematics. If an aircraft with one firewall and engine mounting setup intends to be upgraded to accommodate a larger more powerful engine, then what formula would I use and what extra...

Michaelah, Thanks. Cessna 188, Cropduster, with an O-470-R, upgrading to IO-520-D . . . 230HP to 300HP (310HP possibly).

I have an airplane with a Continental O-470-R, 230 HP Engine. I want to install a Continental IO-520-D, 300 HP Engine. I suspect I would have to modify the Engine Mounting and Firewall, but how much and can I calculate it? The O-470-R weights 378 lbs to 495 lbs The IO-520-D weights 419 lbs to...

Tailless, I appreciate your insight and references, but I feel your answer is too simple. I believe there is more to it that can be directly/mathematically calculated, in theory, before reaching the Wind Tunnel. From what I have read, it seems Wing Aspect Ratio before Winglet Application has...

Any Aeronautical Engineers and Test Pilots: If Aspect Ratio is defined as: AR=b²/S or b/c, simply, then how does a Winglet increase Aspect Ratio? Is the Area of each Winglet added to the Area of the Wing or is it applied another way? Looking Top Down at a Wing with Winglets should the Leading...
