Correlates to what? His own incorrect data ? I worked out the consumption from the sabre VII data sheet - from Napier . The E.122 page you don’t like was from a lecture given BY NAPIER

Ah "Wilkinson" - another table from the "write any number we want" school of publishing. What is the archive reference for that table to a Napier report ?

Yes and I here have a bit of notepaper, on which I will now scribble that the top speed of a Spitfire Mk 1 was 900mph. That means just as much as that claim does, as there iz no evidence for it what-so-ever.

Umm I do, but I need to go and look at the file again.

Ah, found was I was looking for about the E.122

I think we can ALL agree this point #19 on the chart, is simply an error by Setright. 150hp/litre x 36.7 litres = 5500 hp (Which is obviously utter madness.)

2340hp @ +30lbs boost, 3000rpm - date 28th Oct 1944 Bhp/Litre = 87 (this is higher than any type tested Sabre power rating) Now if you want a LOT of power, you`d get that spinning faster, but you cant due to the long stroke (Sabre has 121mm instead of 152mm of the Merlin). Which is why you...

I`d like to know why the WW2 Rolls-Royce aircraft cannon project floundered.

Glad you`re enjoying it, cant say I`ve enjoyed it. :tearsofjoy:

It says 140 PN fuel and no water. There was all sorts of messing about with fuels and you`ll even find 160 grade mentioned in some papers, we can only surmise it was about a half way house between 130 and 150 grade.

JAW: "There still were (& are) a number of those advantages - which are inherent mechanical attributes - remaining relevant, as it happens." The point I understood being made by J.A.W. was that there were advantages relevant to today, not if just about the best sleeve valve ever made was...

Possibly, that was before the guy I know worked there. But in terms of the actual built engine which was banned by the FIA, its the one shown above ^

So my Cosworth contact says he never heard of any such engine, the thinking is that you have probably gotten very mixed up reading some forums, and confused it with the rotary valve engine, which was he says actually done by Ilmor for Mercedes, and this is what was published in the magazine...

It would have cheered up Leigh Mallory who was bored >
