    What do yo think is the best Mercedes engine ever? AS the tr

    Crap. Why exclude the most beautiful German made inverted V12 ever. It took it right up to the smaller capacity Merlin, and it’s direct competitor the Griffon. This engine in the BF109 made any Spitfire pilots sphincter tighten. It held the speed record for a propellor driven aircraft until...

    Thanks for the pic. So they use this to get new or replacement engines from country to country? I’m guessing it’s not powered up, so they must lock the fan up to stop it from spinning?

    Hydrogen Conversions

    Gents, The difference with the Hindenburg is that the Hydrogen was in large expansion bladders. The air ship became lighter than air to fly, by releasing compressed hydrogen from steel cylinders into very large bladders. They then pumped the hydrogen back into the steel tanks to allow the...
