warthogmadman987 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Can anyone tell me what this rectangular box between the a-10s engines is, and what it does? I've always wondered...

OldFrankHog Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Looks like the middle is empty. Maybe for transport/lifting purposes ? Join us today!!!
EscCtrl Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Does it not just send that air to some of the surrounding engine components so they do not have to bleed air from the turbine itself (which may effect performance)? An absolute guess
Guest IguanaKing Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I'm pretty sure that's the intake for the APU (Auxilliary Power Unit). Its essentially a small jet engine that generates electrical power. The exhaust comes out on the left side, under the left engine. That's why A-10s have that big, black smudge on the bottom of the left nacelle.

Guest IguanaKing Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I think our Spanish friend has hit the nail on the head. Gracias! :thumbup:
Aeroscout Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Where is this black smudge? (Picture plaese?) Thanks DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
