Rolls Royce Turbo Jet Engine for Blue Birds
The main advantage I see in a turbo is maintaining sea-level
horsepower at altitude. Here in Colorado an NA engine looses about
30% of its horsepower going over the passes, strictly as a result of
the thin air. A turbo overcomes most of that loss. At lower
elevations, the advantage is much less significant in my opinion.
