No, I am not blaming the author for the lack of editorial scrutiny.

But if Mr Mason thinks that once he graduates to twins, the second engine will give him extra power, he will be surprised to see that - pound for pound of engine weight and fueled carried - he got not twice the power, but half the power available.

And no, power management in a typical turbine is *not* about preventing RRPM from dropping, but about avoiding to exceed TRQ and TEMP limits.

I just don't see that he has the credibility to inform my opinion about Bell's new baby.
