Rolls-Royce merlin engine info needed

Post by Jay » Sun Oct 22, 2006 8:52 pm

Does anyone have any side elevations or other diagrams that measurements could be taken off of. Also looking for good websites relating to the merlin in terms of images.

Yeah, I noticed those too among the Google images, but these are 3-D cutaway views are they not?? I did not see any "line drawings", or at least nothing labeled as such.

Most museums have sample engines on display.
Check out the ones near you.
