- Added design and development section - Added variants section - Changed specification to the 150 hp model and added data

None of the sources I have seen show the compression data for the engine variants. The Italian Air Force Museum of Vigna di Valle gives the compression ratio as ND so this parameter may be unknown .. which is annoying given the engine had a super compression variant which took the horsepower all the way from 150 to 300. If anyone has a source for the compression data please add it. Stivushka (talk) 13:59, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Power to weight ratio

edit

The power to weight ratio appears to be excessively high for an engine of this period? Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 16:44, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

My bad. I entered "weight to power" value instead of "power to weight". Corrected. Stivushka (talk) 09:57, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
