Default RE: Article on pipe tuning

A .40 running at 30,000 rpm can gulp alot of air on it's own in just a few seconds. You couldn't get a self contained air system that supplies all the air to that engine airborne, the tank would have to be pretty big to supply not just the volume but consistant pressure. Nitrous systems, from what I hear are used in RC cars, but would seem to be too bulky for small planes.
