Tempest and its predecessor, the Typhoon. It had a bizarre layout, described at some length by the late, great automotive and engineering writer LJK Setright in his book Some Unusual Engines. Both planes used the Napier Sabre. The Sabre was an H-24 engine: two flat-twelves stacked on top of each other, like a letter H on its side, seen from the front. It had two crankshafts that were geared together to a central output shaft. www.petealbrecht.com/blog/blogapril2006.htm
