Paul, et al:

Does anyone have/know where to obtain more information on water injection?

In the case of our high efficiency..."almost turbine properties" rotaries is
there a chance that water injection could increase HP as well as keep
temperatures under control on very high HP climbs, VEazy side-by-sides??  As
I vaguely recall, the amount of water flow rate is not very high...perhaps
sufficiently low to be able to carry around a gallon or two in baggage?

If someone knows of any SAE  or NASA references, I will do some reading.

Thanks,

Doug Dempsey

We had a long discussion on that recently. The consensus was it was mainly
good for detonation suppression. See the CD.
