Re: Blue Thunder
Actually, I talked with John about just this thing.. He's willing to do just about anything that might make the airplane faster, all that stands in the way of doing these things (I think Super/Turbo charging would be first on the list) is $$$$$ which equates to PARTNERSHIPS (sponsor is a dirty word I hear)....
He's got a great big flying billboard that is seen here and there in front of tens of thousands of interested eyes and by 100's of thousands of eyes on the internet around the world by all the nice pictures that are taken of the airplane..
Anyway.. that's all that stands in the way of seeing some major changes in the airplane. I think someday, it'll look a lot more like a blue and white mini Strega.. personally, I can't wait!
Wayne..
PS.. they've done some tuft testing and know where a lot of drag is around that canopy.... can you say turtledeck!
