Whatever... But I've seen no accusation that the formulas
in Dr. Hoerner's books on aerodynamics are wrong. If say a
80HP Rotax is say 140MPH full throttle down low, then to get
to 200MPH will require (allowing even for Hoerner's
unquantified fudge factor for a very clean airframe), over
200HP. To go 200 on 125HP, same prop or not, requires the
addition of a little-known element either as a fuel
additive, or in casting the redrive box, called balonium.
