  • Yup. My bad. Rashly assumed that USAAF's extreme fondness of turbocharging would carry over to RR design. Not.

    Still, low exhaust sound level from both Merlin and Allison at low elevations is surprising, given blower boost and very low compression-ratio.

  • You mean supercharger?

  • Either that or the Radial engine planted on a Stearman

  • Merlin was only one of the greatest sounds in history unless you were a german in world war 2 then the only sound you heard was death knocking at your door

  • Turbocharger on many series of P-51. Resulting

    in that deep purr. Like a cat you want to keep your distance from.

    Best of the best of WWII for performance & endurance. Besides, beautiful little bird.

  • Yes it does.Check out ( jfaman's) 109 video.

  • Yeah i like that sound too! Its sort of like a whistle, right?

  • O.K.

  • Yeah maybe but i like the Merlin engine because it sounds like it's purring.
