ZAC has said for years that the HD/HDS airfoil will not go significantly faster
than what we/they have been seeing. It's a high-lift (and high-drag) airfoil.
What you say, Bill, may be true for the XL with its thinner and lower-drag
airfoil. I don't know, but that makes sense. With the HD/HDS, more power will
get you a faster climb, but not enough more speed to justify the increase in
cost/weight/fuel burned. You are completely correct about fuel burn rates;
they're usually proportional to power generated.

Talk to Ron at Ram, he was telling me about one if his engines in a
Europa I believe where they had it down to burning 2.5 gallons per
hour at cruise - and I believe it was a 150 horse. He's doing some
pretty incredible stuff with these engines.
