um also could you explain the laminar flow inlet cowl and if it is kero start does that mean that you still have the moter on the front of the intake and does it just mean it uses jet fuel instead of having to bring a propane can
The laminar flow inlet cowl design assists to further minimize airflow turbulence around engines intake. The kero start versions will still at this point use a conventional Bendix style electric starter arrangement at the front of our engines and you are correct the kerosene start option will now eliminate the need altogether to use on board propane systems for the start cycle, this simplifies the systems installation further of course as you don't need to carry the on board propane start gas cylinders anymore....
