ed horsepower available for the same propelling plant when installed on the Le Pere is 0.0455. (Fig. 18.) Hence the ratio of the weight of A to the weight of the Le Pere is 0.0455/0.0277, or 2.005. The weight of the Le Pere with the supercharger being 3,770 pounds, the weight of A works out to be… … Fig. 26. Reduced Speed ofAdronas fig. 20.) Hence the reduced horsepower available for the nonsupercharging engine on plane A would be 0.0175 X 3650/7560, or 0.00844. This is 1/2.69 times the reduced horsepower required. Calling the nominal power of the Liberty engine 400, it is evident that the…
