RE: [DMCForum] Turbo vs Super charging.

["Dave Stragand" <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Normally, this isn't an issue for planes, as the air is cooler at higher
altitudes.  The Concorde had high skin temps from friction with the air
at supersonics speeds if I understand it correctly, which makes the AC
necessary.

cool? That's one entire engine!
