There is a certain unique styling to it. Having been raised on the 1930s Flash Gordon movies (no I'm not that old, the BBC used to repeat them on BBC2 in the school holidays) I did wonder if Dr Zarkhof has retired to a life of Pasta and piston engine design.
ET, you are broadly correct, but only at I think constant mixture ratio. Mixture tends I think to vary with altitude with a venturi carb and is rarely stoichiometric I believe, it generally tends to be the rich side of that. Also, taking your statement as true...
- Is it linearly proportional, or some other function?
- Is the mass flow rate through a normally aspirated engine constant, a linear function of density, or some other function?

Still not sure, but we'll probably fly it anyway.
