Wow, I even got a little out of that tech post --- that was pretty clear information.
Scott, so that's what happened, eh? Harshness. 7500rpm in anger? Send the next Expedition-driving-bimbo the bill. The new setup sounds like it will be really sweet.

Hmm, pressure really isn't linear, but I don't personally know the exact values for, say, 0-30,000'. Either way, I can tell you that the air at 18,600' is
very thin ;-)
Here's table I found online here:
http://www.auf.asn.au/meteorology/section1a.html, but I don't know if it's exactly accurate, but doing the calculations using formulas found at the JPL's website could confirm it.....plus, the curve rate varies dependant on latitude.
