Same number of blades we have. Wonder what one of these could do on our engines for cooling...

At 8500 RPM with an IDI, the least of your worries is cooling.

Couldn't resist. Sorry.

Some people seem to think that 8500 RPM with an IDI's nothing to worry about

I see the fan in the pic, but it almost looks like an electric fan to me?

It sure is an electric fan. I'm just looking at it wondering how we could adapt it to our engines....

Do they really need a fan at 160+ mph?
