Thoughts?
The turbine’s trailer makes a very handy set of target specs to compete against. I’m all for raising the exhaust temperature to slightly less than what the market’s proven to be acceptable risks. No matter how safely we design and build FFs, we will never be able to please all of the people all of the time.
