The configuration of a Griphon engine is not that different from a Merlin and should sound very similar. Perhaps it had the classic wing shape but a radial engine (2x9), in which case it would have been a Sea Fury. ![]() The Griffon has more of a pulsating, gargling sound. Starting at 1:05, can even be heard towards take-off speed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsY5SbXhqVg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYjriT7lVHw Some Merlins. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYsLvdSmKQI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z_F14hm-CE I saw a Griffon-powered Spit at Sun-N-Fun this year and knew immediately that it had to be a layer Mark, as it did not have that distinctive merlin sound! -- "Initiative is punishable." Russian business saying. |
