Mike,

Could you (or anyone else) explain the general concept of an exhaust
augmentor. I've seen the term used on this list but don't know how it

works.

It is similar to a venturi?

Dick,

  Dont know if your question got answered by previous posts on the subject.
The augmentor basically uses the high energy exhaust flow to help extract
air from the radiator exit. If you want to see an example on factory built
aircraft take a look at a T34A/B Mentor. I've also seen augmentors on a
number of light twins like the Cessna 310.

  Charlie Airesman wrote a couple of articles on his augmentor that
appeared in Contact some time ago. You might try contacting Mick Myal to
get those back issues.
