Hi Paul,
any comment on the stated BSFC?
BR, Dave McC

The BSFC is over .5 because of the fan cooled rotor. That
fan sucks some HP. Since they would have to add an oil pump
for the pressure fed rotor bearing they might as well go whole
hog and do a oil cooled rotor like Mazda. That will improve
the BSFC to somewhat less than .5 say .47.

I think you would be closer to the mark; but for the AE50R
Under Technical Specifications- Fuel
Diamond state SFC as 0.25 lb/hr/hp !
that is why I asked for your comment

Somebody screwed up. They took the 2 rotor specs .5 and divided
by 2 because it is a one rotor engine and came up with
.25. Makes sense. Right? :)

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.
