Someone further up the thread (I'm sorry, I'm on mobile so can't easily check) mentioned that the ATP was designed around a 3,000hp Rolls Royce engine, but when that was cancelled, BAe took the next biggest P&W Canada engine, the 126 at about 2200hp.

Flying it, I always thought it had plenty of rudder (handy in a x-wind!) but obviously not quite enough power.

Is the rumour of the RR 3000hp engine true?

Edit; it was rightbank that provided anecdotal evidence about the ATP engine.
