One of widely used, yet rarely celebrated engines, was the Allison V-1710. It was there when needed, particularly the single stage variant, being eclipsed with other Allied engines of ever-increasing capabilities. So was there a way to increase it's capabilities (particularly high altitude ones), before going to the 2 stage variant? Eg. NAA was proposing the 2-speed V-1710 in the time they were testing the P-51. Anything else, like the bigger supercharger (sorta V-1710-AS, like DB-605-AS)?
The contests between engines, let alone the post war engines' capabilities, can have their own thread. Thank you![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
