Question to the collective wisdom:
Does anyone know whether the aft interior (non cockpit) area of the fuselage in
the Mono has positive or negative pressure? (or Neutral?) In simple terms, is
air exiting or entering from the flap/trim tab fusulage slots?
I am assuming that it is positive, (from the mono wheel opening on the bottom)
which would tend to pressurize the cockpit and prevent through ventilation. I
think this perspective has been supported by previous discussion about aifoil
structures with the top surface ported mounted aft to create a negative pressure
for cockpit ventilation.
I intend to be sealing off the fuel filler hose using the Europa molded mod. The
hope/expectation is that fumes will exit through the slots in the fuselage.
Separate air exchange will be provided by a dedicated low pressure exit for the
cockpit.
Does the above scenario make sense?
Thanks,
