THIS paper gives a brief resumé of the development of the Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine and then analyzes the requirements of the high-performance engine of the future, developing at least 1500 b.hp. and operating on fuels of high knock ratings.The problems investigated include those of engine form, fuels, detonation, waste-heat disposal, cooling drag, cooling medium, and the mechanical and operational features.Conclusions deduced from the arguments are: THIS paper gives a brief resumé of the development of the Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine and then analyzes the requirements of the high-performance engine of the future, developing at least 1500 b.hp. and operating on fuels of high knock ratings.The problems investigated include those of engine form, fuels, detonation, waste-heat disposal, cooling drag, cooling medium, and the mechanical and operational features.Conclusions deduced from the arguments are: THIS paper gives a brief resumé of the development of the Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine and then analyzes the requirements of the high-performance engine of the future, developing at least 1500 b.hp. and operating on fuels of high knock ratings.The problems investigated include those of engine form, fuels, detonation, waste-heat disposal, cooling drag, cooling medium, and the mechanical and operational features.Conclusions deduced from the arguments are: THIS paper gives a brief resumé of the development of the Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine and then analyzes the requirements of the high-performance engine of the future, developing at least 1500 b.hp. and operating on fuels of high knock ratings.The problems investigated include those of engine form, fuels, detonation, waste-heat disposal, cooling drag, cooling medium, and the mechanical and operational features.Conclusions deduced from the arguments are: THIS paper gives a brief resumé of the development of the Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine and then analyzes the requirements of the high-performance engine of the future, developing at least 1500 b.hp. and operating on fuels of high knock ratings.The problems investigated include those of engine form, fuels, detonation, waste-heat disposal, cooling drag, cooling medium, and the mechanical and operational features.Conclusions deduced from the arguments are:
