[Updated on 02 May 2023] The first aircraft engine that reached 1000 HP, it was very heavy though. The main purpose was powering Avro Aldershot and Blackburn Cubaroo heavy bombers, only 6 engines were produced. It is composed of two 90° V8s merged on a single flatplane crank. The angle between the two top banks is 52.5° which makes it an uneven firing engine. I guesstimated the firing order based on the previous Napier development, the Lion engine. The base firing order is 1-3-4-2, banks 1 and 3 (two opposed banks) delayed by 360° relative to the banks 2 and 4.
