| Also, I think this is a turbocharger, not a supercharger. Seems like it's just driven by exhaust, not directly from the engine rotation. Crazy looking thing! |

| dd, i don't know if this is true, but i heard the p-47, the hellcat and the corsair used the same radial engine. |

| Amazing - how on earth did they manage to pack that lot in such a good looking aeroplane? |

The reason a P-47was so big w was to accommodate the supercharger. |
