Paul Scott, 12.03.2017 22:56 Wikipedia states 1800 HP Merlins confirmed reply | THEBATTLEMASTER, 13.12.2012 22:03 Could have been a nice plane. reply |
Paul Scott, e-mail, 21.05.2012 19:13 A lot like the Welkin as well as the Hornet. reply | Peters Leandro, e-mail, 28.02.2011 23:18 There is an error, are 1850 hp motor. This can be seen in the four blades of the thruster. Even the first R & R Merlin had 850 hp. Greetings reply |
| tony, e-mail, 21.11.2010 23:30 Re: 460 mph with a pair of 850 hp "Merlin" engines? Impossible. Now, those engines may have had 1850 hp, but I never heard of any Merlin with only 850. (1850 is itself a bit of a stretch but not impossible, and would have been enough to swing those 4-blade props fast enough to hit off over 400 mph) reply | Tony French, e-mail, 16.07.2010 22:26 850hp Merlin ? 460 mph on two 850hp motors ? Unlikely reply | Karl, e-mail, 12.08.2010 14:59 This plane was similar in koncept like De Havvilland Hornet and had Merlin 130 engines of 2000 HP each. reply |
