As an owner of an augmentor-tube tube airplane which makes quite a bit of noise (IMO a beautiful sound) I'd be very interested in the results of any experiments. We're beginning to get some complaints at our airport and would like to be proactive in this area. thanks Chris

    --> Commander-List message posted by: rnjthompson@aol.com Hi Chris, I will try this again as I seem to have sent the last one unfinished. The thing is a tube about 4 in long going ito a taper of about 14 in long with a 1/2 in hole at the end. From the point going forward there are 3/8 holes in three triangular patterns going about 6 in.(the final number of holes is still to be determined) This entier cone has three vanes radiating outwards that are welded to the cone and bolted to the augmentor tube. Each vane is about 8 in long and has a tab on the trailing edge (to cause turbulence in the aug.The front at the parrallel tube extends forward of the firewall and covers the stacks.I have made all the patterns etc and only need to cut the tin. I used .030 304 grade stainless sheet. I will bring a prototype to the flyin. I am also going to adapt it to fit a T Bone.

I've studied the "Swiss muffler" that seems to be pretty popular in Europe, but I don't think it will work for my needs. They use it on O-200's and smaller and I'm pretty sure my 540's will tear it up quickly. Your description is very interesting, but I can't quite envision the details. How did you come up with that design? Clearly there is a lot of thought put into it. Have you tested it and how is it working so far? Do you have any drawings/pictures/etc you could share? Thanks, Chris
