I think the FW 190 installation was well studied. It was excellent.
A
few
of the Typhoon/Tempest dervatives also used Germanic style radiators
a'la
FW190D series and also achieved a speed improvement.

The Typhoon always used the chin radiator. It first flew about
9 months after the Fw190

The Typhoon "derivative", the Tempest used wing radiators in the
mark I, the fastest, a radial engine in the mark II, a chin radiator
in the mark V and a combination of chin and wing radiators for the
mark VI.

The Fury, the Tempest "derivative" used a radial engine.
Hawkers had a good look at the FW190 before the Fury
was designed.

Nothing like the radiator arrangement used in the FW190D series.

After the war Tempests were built, flown and tested with Germanic anular
radiators. This gave about a 20mph speed advantage over the chin
installation with the same sabre engine.



As I recall Napier's designed and tested several different types of annular
radiator annular radiator for the Sabre and tested it on a Typhoon IB
and a Tempest V

None were chosen for production.
