on an early test run the r engine produced 1,400 hp (1,040 kw) and was noted to idle happily at 450 revolutions per minute (rpm). with increased boost ratings and fuel developed by banks, the r engine ultimately developed 2,530 hp (1,890 kw) at 3,200 rpm; well over double the maximum power output of the buzzard. the en...

the development of special fuel was attributed to the work of "rod" banks, an engineer who specialised in fuels and engine development. after using neat benzole for early ground test runs, a mixture of 11% aviation petrol and 89% benzole plus 5 cubic centimetres (cc) of tetra-ethyl lead per imperial gallon (4.5 l) was ...

the keys to the r engine's high power-to-weight
the keys to the r engine's high power-to-weight ratio were its supercharger design, ability to run at high revolutions due to its structural strength, and the special blends of fuel used. the double-sided supercharger impeller was a new development for rolls-royce: running at a ratio of almost 8:1, it could supply inta...

a not-so-obvious cooling measure was the deliberate use
a not-so-obvious cooling measure was the deliberate use of a rich fuel mixture, which accounts for the frequent reports of black smoke seen issuing from the engine exhaust stubs. although this robbed the engine of some power, it increased reliability and reduced the possibility of detonation in the cylinders.

cooling this large engine whilst minimising aerodynamic drag
cooling this large engine whilst minimising aerodynamic drag posed new challenges for both the rolls-royce and supermarine design teams. traditional cooling methods using honeycomb-type radiators were known to cause high drag in flight; consequently it was decided to use the surface skins of the s.6 wings and floats as...
