I've got a few more questions about these awesome machines.

The maximum rate of climb is limited to 2000ft/min. Is this a strtuctural limit? e.g. Main GB stress limit or a Parasite Drag etc? I've never been in anything powerful enough to have a limit as such.

Why does the HYD System 1 run cooler? Does System 1 have less load, have longer piping or similar (which inadvertantly aids in heat conduction)??

When do the secondary nozzles open during starting? When N1 is 37%?

I don't expect them all to be answered, but nay help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
