EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Rolls-Royce Eagle H-type 24-cylinder piston engine in its full glory, taken from the port quarter in 1947. The engine, a marvel of aviation technology during its time, boasts an impressive power output of 500 horsepower. The Rolls-Royce Eagle H-type engine was a 24-cylinder, liquid-cooled, supercharged powerhouse designed primarily for use in military aircraft during the late 1940s. Its distinctive H-configuration layout, with twelve cylinders arranged in two banks of six, made it a unique and powerful solution for the demands of high-performance aviation. The engine's robust design and exceptional power-to-weight ratio were instrumental in powering various aircraft models, including the Avro Vulcan and the de Havilland Hornet Moth, during the post-war era. This image offers a rare glimpse into the past, highlighting the engineering prowess and innovation that defined the golden age of aviation.
