The fan design and/or RPM is certainly going to have to be different; I wonder if that will drive a change to the motors or controllers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Bodyflight.Net 0 #10 June 10, 2005 generally speaking.. for altitude you would increase horsepower but not much else.. and they have working experience with some altitude over in Malaysia.. so I have faithtoo exciting.. can't wait..

Since it is a recirculating tunnel, I think there is much more in "design changes" than just motor design... From what I have been told, a lot of the engineering is brand-spanking-new (cutting edge) on this beast... Pumping air in circles is gotta be much different than pumping air thru a tube.

How much does a tunnel cost to build? No I'm not thinking about getting one or anything like that, but was just wondering.

We at NH are also going with 1200 hp but don't have the altitude issue. Speed is life!
