Re: Ducted spinner Tempest NV768
In "The Typhoon & Tempest story" by Thomas and Shores,pp111, they write, "As with the Typhoon, Napier investigated the efficiency of annular radiators, converting two Mk Vs, EJ518 and NV768, the latter employing a Sabre V and a huge ducted spinner with the air intake ahead of the propeller blades. Although the installations were successful they did not result in any changes to the Tempest production models."
