New Champion

Airmen in & out of the Army have known for months that the PSI fighter plane (Mustang) was soon to have a new engine that would improve its performance sensationally.

In Detroit last week George T. Christopher, president of Packard Motor Car Co., proudly announced that the null new engine was a Packard-built Rolls-Royce model of more than 1,500 horsepower-- replacing the 1,150-h.p. Allison. Forbidden by military rules to discuss actual figures, Packardman Christopher could say only that the new model "raises air warfare nearly two miles higher." Special feature of the engine is its two-speed, two-stage supercharger, an intricate turbine device which crams air into the carburetor to develop full power even at the higher altitudes.
