Bill,
Can you explain this. it seems to be in contrast to a graph you posted earlier, saying to shift at redline (7000rpm).
Just want to see if this is a inadvertent error. I'm Explaining the HP vs shift point to a couple of my students today and was using the very handy, thrust curve graph.
It seems obvious that the graphs of all gear produced thrust, have more thrust in the prior gear right up until redline.
Thx
