STRIX AERO REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATION
It’s a pleasure to work with Strix Aero on a program to revitalize WWII military aircraft engines to a state
of technology beyond what was available to the awesome engineering teams that initially designed and
developed these large displacement, high output V12 aircraft engines.
Having a builder able to continue offering the benefits of such developments to the Warbird community is very gratifying. It’s just what we need to be able to fly the associated marvelous aircraft for another 80 years, and more.
Occasionally people surprise me, one such firm is:
https://strixaero.com who do a lot of work with V-1710 engines.
During research for THE SECRET HORSEPOWER RACE I contacted a couple of very big names in warbird engine work, asking questions, and offering information, and was broadly speaking, roundly ignored (after all what would an ex F1 engine designer who had spent six years collecting engineering information about warbird engines possibly have to offer anyone restoring warbird engines ?)
