...famed Hawker Hurricane. Beyond the fact that apparently the Luftwaffe has nothing like it, what interested many an airman most was Lord Beaverbrook's description of its engine. To drive the Ty phoon past the 400-m.p.h. mark the Napier engine company had turned out a 24-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine (the Napier Sabre) that turned up an incredible 2,350 h.p. for takeoff, an equally incredible 1,800 at the Typhoon's best operating altitude (secret...
...Thus, liquid-cooled engines had topped their air-cooled rivals, at least for the time being, in horsepower output (most powerful U.S. engine, Wright's 2,200-h.p., air-cooled job). What answer would come from the laboratories of the U.S.'s big air-cooled manufacturers (Wright and Pratt & Whitney) no outsider yet knew...
...jazz music than you would anywhere else. In the first place, the whole thing is completely informal. A few musicians get together and do their best to play what they think is good jazz music. And they generally have the right idea, often inspired by no end of liquid refreshment. Then, of course, everybody's playing for his own fun, and all commercial inhibitions are checked with the hats. Which means that you don't have to stop playing a tune after two or three choruses. You can build it up, and play around it, and do things to that...
Also under way were two projects which may prove to be Ford's most important contribution to national defense. One project is a 12-cylinder, 1,500-1,700 h.p., liquid-cooled airplane engine, with cast instead of forged cylinder sleeves and many simplifications of design. If that engine passes its laboratory tests successfully, it may be the answer to the industry's dream: an airplane engine which can be mass-produced...
...cooled (radial) motors have a current edge in the air-cooled - liquid-cooled squabble largely because they have a longer engineering history. But the Germans have a compromise: an air-cooled, in-line engine which would combine the best features of both types...
