Supercritical rotors are anything new. You can even find them in regular turbos, ones that cost few tens EUR/USD. Same with high speed, high power density electric machines.MrPotatoHead wrote: ↑07 Jun 2017, 02:35What's new is the length of the shaft and the forces induced by the baby electric motor in the middle.
The last time we talked about this on this thread was almost exactly a year ago (June 2016) and I was writing exactly the same thing then.noname wrote: ↑07 Jun 2017, 07:42Supercritical rotors are anything new.

No simple feat, but there are quite a few people knowing how to deal with this. Honda having such problems in 2017 is plain embarrassing.

Of course this is only part of the issue. It would also mean a total revision of the McLaren approach to chassis design in order to accommodate not only a front-mounted compressor but also the assorted cooling and intercooling solutions.
I'm not saying they can't do it, or that they won't. I just think that with the time and resources they have, it's an unlikely thing to try for next year.
In my opinion, F1's PU era isn't just about building excellent PUs - it's also about building a responsive PU design and development organisation.
Honda were up against teams that have had these bleeding-edge development teams for decades - organisations that can cope with the demands of F1 and rapidly moving technological change - so it's not a big surprise that they are struggling now.
I could not say it better. That's Honda's biggest problem, and that's why Mercedes was so damn good over the last 3 years.Craigy wrote: ↑07 Jun 2017, 10:53In my opinion, F1's PU era isn't just about building excellent PUs - it's also about building a responsive PU design and development organisation.

Doch nach Informationen von auto motor und sport wäre es ein Wunder, wenn die Japaner die Probleme vom Prüfstand noch vor dem Rennen in Montreal lösen. Die neue Ausbaustufe sollte endlich die Power bringen, mit der Honda in diese Saison starten wollte. Also ungefähr Renault-Niveau. „Ich glaube es erst, wenn ich es auf der Rennstrecke sehe“, bremst Boullier.
Honda schweigt sich darüber aus, warum jetzt plötzlich alles schiefläuft, was lange so positiv aussah. Der Sechszylinder war im Bereich der Zylinderköpfe und der Verbrennung völlig neu konzipiert worden. Der Fahrerlagerfunk meldet, dass die guten Ergebnisse im Einzylinder-Versuch nicht vollständig auf den Sechszylinder übertragen werden konnten. Daran wird jetzt repariert.
But according to information from auto motor and sport, it would be a miracle if the Japanese solve the problems from the test before the race in Montreal. The new version should finally bring the power with which Honda wanted to start this season. So about Renault-level. "I think it's only when I see it on the track," Boullier says.
Honda is silent about why suddenly everything that has been so positive for a long time has come to a head. The six-cylinder had been completely redesigned in the area of the cylinder heads and combustion. The driver's radio reports that the good results in the single cylinder test could not be transferred completely to the six-cylinder engine. This is now being repaired.

I dont get the "drivers radio report" part ?
