The exhaust outlet is arranged as a fishtail in the core of the jacket outlet, so that ejector action induces a cooling airflow into the jacket through four inlet branches, the cooling air being expelled in common with the exhaust. Behind the engine room a fuselage volume of 800 cu ft is given by a length of 19 ft with a width of 7 ft 6 in, for a height of 5 ft 8 in. Entry is afforded through a door at the rear of the cabin on the port side, the threshold height of which is 3 ft 9 in, whilst the whole tail of the fuselage is arranged as a cigar point, split vertically on the centre-line to form swing-open doors, the threshold height of which is 3 ft 6 in. A system of friction braking and positive latch- locking is embodied in the door mechanism. Horizontal tailplanes are cantilevered off the tail doors and carry end-plate fins.
