TESTER Increase power of Eagle(Aero Engine) engine; T.A. Gibson. A. {Mr Adams} Rubbra. CONDITIONS. Test bench. SUMMARY OF TEST. It will be seen from the attached report and curves that the Eagle(Aero Engine) engine is capable of being boosted up to a considerable increase in H.P. It would appear that we have by no means exhausted the possibility of improvements in induction pipes. Valve timing could also be usefully investigated further. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
