Default RE: What effects or controls spool up time?

1. The temp, alt, enviromental conditions were listed in the first post.

2. Other ECU also monitor temp, rpms, pump voltage as well. However, if they can give you the spool time they do.

Guys, 6-7 seconds is not normal for a bench mounted turbine. Once induced into an airframe with longer fuel tubing, restrictions it will not get better. To depend on "Ram Air" to help spool up is not a good idea as there is a lot of airframes to don't "Ram Air" into the turbine but allow it to obtaing the necessary air for running.

This spool time is around were the older turbines run at. Hince the development of the newer models like the SX's and others.

So is it my understanding that this video represents what a typical EVO Booster 90 will do sitting still in an airframe on the runway before take off? What if you don't have the Ram Air effect?
