buster_dee Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Napier Sabre: the most fascinating engine to me. 24 small pistons/cylinders moving at a mad blur. Last test runs yielded 4000 HP. Sounds a little like a lawnmower though. Typhoon and Tempest equal favorites to me. Square-jawed beastly things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download, crank up the volume and and enjoy! http://www.hawkertempest.se/index.php/multimedia/sound-files An interesting excerpt from a WW2 Tempest V maintenance guide: Edited June 24, 2014 by Friedrich-4/B add YouTube [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]************************************* Fortunately, Mk IX is slightly stable, anyway, the required stick travel is not high... but nothing extraordinary. Very pleasant to fly, very controllable, predictable and steady. We never refuse to correct something that was found outside ED if it is really proven...But we never will follow some "experts" who think that only they are the greatest aerodynamic guru with a secret knowledge. :smartass: WWII AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster_dee Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Good stuff. I take back the lawnmower comment--sounds more like a Formula 1 engine. I thought the two crankshafts were synchronized to fire cylinders in pairs, but it sounds so hi-revving. Maybe they were interteved. Thanks for links. EDIT: Ok, fires in pairs. Hmm. Wait! It runs up to 4000 RPM--about 1000 more than its peers. Imagine that screaming down on you while you're trying to run messages on your trusty R75.

LcSummers Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Would love to have the MK V. Nice airplane and a good tank hunter. May be one day we can hunt Tigers or Panthers or Kitties:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiloMorai Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 There was complaints by civilians around Typhoon/Tempest bases that the night time runups were disturbing their sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdoc Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Promising news about the Tempest :) thanks for the links Krupi and Friedrich! The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the few opportunities in life to experience all three at the same time.

A Boulton Paul Defiant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulton_Paul_Defiant interesting thought. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
