The T300 Mk1 engine produces 2.75 hp when run at 1800rpm. Air flow to cool the engine is provided by a flywheel whose spokes are arranged as fan blades. The engine used a Solex 26FHG carburettor and a BTH (British Thomson-Houston) type MC2 magneto. For identification, the serial numbers for T300 Mk1 engines are preceded by the letters TE. [5]
An FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II without tail section, showing its Rolls-Royce Nene II turbojet. The Nene was designed as a result of a June 1944 visit to the US by Stanley Hooker.He discovered that General Electric already had two engine types running, an axial and a centrifugal, of 4,000 lbf (18 kN) thrust.
The Volkswagen Golf Mk1 is the first generation of a small family car manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen.It was noteworthy for signalling Volkswagen's shift of its major car lines from rear-wheel drive and rear-mounted air-cooled engines to front-wheel drive with front-mounted, water-cooled engines that were often transversely-mounted.
The M-1 traces its history to US Air Force studies from the late 1950s for its launch needs in the 1960s. By 1961 these had evolved into the Space Launcher System design. . The SLS consisted of a series of four rocket designs, all built around a series of solid-fuel boosters and liquid-hydrogen-powered upper stag
