[edit] I Feel the Need for Speed

1905 WSR? What was the exact speed? Where was it set? Who drove?! Who built her (presumably not Napiers)? Trekphiler 13:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Feel the Power

I deleted "holds the title for the most powerful piston aircraft engine produced to this day". P&W R4360s & R3350 turbocompounds equalled it, so the Sabre isn't alone. Trekphiler 11:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

So its just the most powerful conventional piston engine then?GraemeLeggett 11:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reliability of the Deltic Engine

It is claimed here that the Deltic engines were very reliable. In the main article about Deltic engines they needed much maintenance. Although that being not directly opposite, this is indicating that there is something wrong here or in the other article.
