Great article, VM325.
What mind-boggling complexity! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2e3774460e.jpg "OK chaps, let's design an engine with more mechanical complexity than anyone has dreamt of!" |
Frank Halford obviously gave Napier ideas. This is the gear train for a Napier Deltic engine.
Nothing to do with Halford actually, it was developed from a Junkers opposed-piston design. For those that aren't familiar with the engine, it's an 18 cylinder, 36 piston, 3 crankshaft, supercharged 2-stroke diesel. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a90f16583c.jpg |

There's a chap here who's built a running model Deltic along with a Napier Sabre... :eek: |
Napier Sabre
Another interesting viewpoint of the Napier Sabre, and other aviation related engines.

I gather Kermit has crated up all his Tempest V bits and attached a label addressed to Air Leasing at Sywell... :ok:
