However you still ignore that fact that the engines could still operate at full power in an emergency, however the engine would have to be replaced again and overhauled. These boost restrictions are to prolong the engine life, and to assure nothing is wrong before operational service with the aircraft.
Ah poor little Sholzi is all upset. Who stuck the burr in your knickers?
This is the Geneal Forum > A/C and Vehicles forum. Many threads have been non AH related.
Not necessarily anything to do with AH. Not everyone is as knowledgable as you.
They might not know what was involved in breaking in a DB605 engine. Besides that, it is a British report on a G-14.
No I don't ignore the fact that the engines could be run at above the break-in boosts and rpms, in an emergency. But as you say the engine would have to be replaced and that is normally an eight (8) job for 3 men. As if the 'black men' did not have enough to do.
Changing tires, batteries, regular maintainance, polishing the airframe, interupted by air attacks, etc, etc. What was the supply situation? Were engines readily available? Or did you forget the transportation system was breaking down?
As I said before, I have 'broken in' many engines, specific > the race type, so you can stop harping on the obvious.
