Re: the "Wright" stuff

I remain amazed how much Rutan's most "inventive" planes have more than a vague resemblance to that original plane, at the very least ... more so than rationality dictates that it has any right too. I remain impressed! They certainly optimized the lift to thrust ratio, but then again they had to with those POS engines running on crappy fuel.

That's where I believe the analogy ends. Magnepan has access to excellent motors. It's one of those issues that makes one's head itch. OK, maybe I wouldn't expect ceramic magnets on its more affordable stuff, by why not their flagship? I realize that too already blasts its competition at its price point, but I can't help but wonder how many hassles could be solved via stronger motors. Hell, with reduced current, one can use thinner gauged wires for lighter moving mass at higher amplifier-friendly impedances, at much improved efficiencies.


... just my 2¢
