Can anyone guess the engine and aircraft
Might it be an XP-51J fitted with a Allison V-1710-119 engine.
fly boy:"isnt that the first jet bomber becasue i have flown one in a flight sim before and i know how it handles"
Dang that was too easy Right on...one of two built P-51J lightweight fighters and could have been the fastest of all wartime Mustangs. There were stories on both sides of the fence, the engine wasn't performing up to spec to the USAAF drug its heels during testing as to not supersede the performance of the Merlin powered 'Tangs.

"Vee's for Victory" claims that the first -119 engine didn't go on test until July of 1944 and that the first flight of the P-51J wasn't until April 23, 1945.
No reason is given but only 7 flights on the first airframe and 2 flights on the second by Feb of 1946 at which point the 2 planes are handed over to the USAF from North American. The USAF then bails the planes to Allison
for engine development work including work on the -143 engine for the P-82.
There were reportedly problems with the Bendix Speed Density Carburetor which were not solved for a while.
OK round 2 What aircraft and engine would this be?
rolls royce vulture? its a x type engine. looks like counter rotating prop shaft. im clueless as to airplane.am i close?
yes it has a counter rotating shaft and speed was estimated at 768 kph but not a Rolls Royce engine
is it an X type engine it could be just a vertical opposed engineOriginally Posted by krieghund
Napier Dagger?
I believe it's French, but I can't remember more than that...

Did it ever fly?
Wouldn't stagnation from the screen spoil airflow into that intake?
