What do you mean? This thread has some Venn's diagrams, therefore it has to be good. :wink:

If you delete everything except the Venn diagram, it would actually add to the thread. Sadly, we shouldn't need a Venn diagram on this forum.

I am too lazy to get out my manuals, but if you are going to use PWC at least read it.

PT6A- 11 the rated ESHP includes the thrust however the -11 was 525 ESHP/500shp with a thermodynamic rating of 670hp this allowed for improved hot/high performance
the-36 was rated 783/750

step up to the -38 series was 801/750 with thermo of 1090
the -42 was 903/850 -45 was 1070/1020
this was mostly due to improved compressor design and the second turbine wheel

the -50/60's are interesting in that they added the extra axial compressor and were able to push out 1798/1700+ in the -67 series. the b1900 shows 1279/1214 this reduced flat rating was for what reason?
"Beuller, Beuller"

as you can see at best you get 65hp on 1214 or roughly 5% more hp across the board.
