Turbo-supercharger

[SShrike]

This is some information I found about the turbo-supercharger. A discussion in chat on a mp server the other day, resulted in a search for this information. The talk was regarding weather certain aero engines were turbo charged or supercharged. There was mention of a turbo-supercharged engine and some members dismissed it out of hand saying they are different and had to be one or the other. Here is some details about how it can be both.

Indeed, some planes have both. There will often be a basic mechanical supercharger (single speed gear) in an engine with an added turbocharger. Like the P-47 for instance. Will check the link later.
