96 Additional elements are required for a supercharged engine. These can be
97 left off a non-supercharged engine, ie. the changes are all backward
98 compatible at present.
100 - NUMBOOSTSPEEDS - zero (or not present) for a naturally-aspirated engine,
101 either 1, 2 or 3 for a boosted engine. This corresponds to the number of
102 supercharger speeds. Merlin XII had 1 speed, Merlin 61 had 2, a late
103 Griffon engine apparently had 3. No known engine more than 3, although
104 some German engines apparently had a continuously variable-speed
107 - BOOSTOVERRIDE - whether the boost pressure control system (either a boost
108 control valve for superchargers or wastegate for turbochargers) can be
109 overriden by the pilot. During wartime this was commonly possible, and
110 known as "War Emergency Power" by the Brits. 1 or 0 in the config file.
111 This isn't implemented in the model yet though, there would need to be
112 some way of getting the boost control cutout lever position (on or off)
113 from FlightGear first.
115 - The next items are all appended with either 1, 2 or 3 depending on which
116 boost speed they refer to, eg RATEDBOOST1. The rated values seems to have
117 been a common convention at the time to express the maximum continuously
118 available power, and the conditions to attain that power.
120 - RATEDBOOST[123] - the absolute rated boost above sea level ambient for a
121 given boost speed, in psi. Eg the Merlin XII had a rated boost of 9psi,
122 giving approximately 42inHg manifold pressure up to the rated altitude.
124 - RATEDALTITUDE[123] - The altitude up to which rated boost can be
125 maintained. Up to this altitude the boost is maintained constant for a
126 given throttle position by the BCV or wastegate. Beyond this altitude the
127 manifold pressure must drop, since the supercharger is now at maximum
128 unregulated output. The actual pressure multiplier of the supercharger
129 system is calculated at initialisation from this value.
131 - RATEDPOWER[123] - The power developed at rated boost at rated altitude at
134 - RATEDRPM[123] - The rpm at which rated power is developed.
136 - TAKEOFFBOOST - Takeoff boost in psi above ambient. Many aircraft had an
137 extra boost setting beyond rated boost, but not totally uncontrolled as in
138 the already mentioned boost-control-cutout, typically attained by pushing
139 the throttle past a mechanical 'gate' preventing its inadvertant use. This
140 was typically used for takeoff, and emergency situations, generally for
141 not more than five minutes. This is a change in the boost control
142 setting, not the actual supercharger speed, and so would only give extra
143 power below the rated altitude. When TAKEOFFBOOST is specified in the
144 config file (and is above RATEDBOOST1), then the throttle position is
147 - 0 to 0.95 : idle manifold pressure to rated boost (where attainable)
148 - 0.96, 0.97, 0.98 : rated boost (where attainable).
149 - 0.99, 1.0 : takeoff boost (where attainable).
151 A typical takeoff boost for an earlyish Merlin was about 12psi, compared
152 with a rated boost of 9psi.
154 It is quite possible that other boost control settings could have been used
155 on some aircraft, or that takeoff/extra boost could have activated by other
156 means than pushing the throttle full forward through a gate, but this will
159 Note that MAXMP is still the non-boosted max manifold pressure even for
160 boosted engines - effectively this is simply a measure of the pressure drop
161 through the fully open throttle.
