\ Flight, 7 May IS Roy Nockolds' design to illustrate "Endurance", upon which depends the effective striking power of fleets at sea, the forewarning of attack . . . the safety of aircrews and their aircraft. Endurance is a factor which aircraft designers have long sought to reconcile with high performance; The Double Mamba turboprop has been designed to meet this requirement. THE DOUBLE MAMBA Basically two Mamba engines side by side driving independent co-axial four-bladed airscrews, the Double Mamba develops 2,950 e.s.h.p. Each unit is entirely separate; neither can be affected by loss of power or injury to the other. Specially designed for deck-landing aircraft,* the Double Mamba has the power potential, handling qualities and safety factors of a twin-engined aircraft, combined with the fuel economy and stowing facilities of a single installation. The Fairey Gannet —super-priority for the Royal Navy—is powered by the Double Mamba. ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY MOTORS LIMITED • COVENTRY Members of the Hawker Siddeley Group
