This Monstruosity looks like the fan on the 190V1.
Didn't work better than a naca cowl with the small fan.
Fan that was used for cooling oil (see my previous post), cooling cylinders and force air for admission.
It was unique, show me another cowl engine on an operation craft designed to do the same please.

I'm glad you stated that, for the inference of copying the German design would have been met with a accusatory "please explain". The influence might be obvious to you, but as I mentioned earlier, the devil is in the detail and ascertaining exactly what the British learned from the design and how they applied it is what I'd like to read.
