New Type Engine Boosts Aircraft Altitude For Air War
Packard's Rolls Royce aircraft engine with a two-stage two-speed supercharger powers the North American P-511 Mustang and previously built engines for P-40F Warhawk, Hurricanes, Lancasters and Mosquitos. The design raises performance at high altitudes by maintaining over 1,500 horsepower, enabling higher ceilings and enhanced low altitude capability. Joint British Packard development with US Army Air Forces, the unit runs about 25,000 RPM.
