Contra-rotating propellers
Contra-rotating propellers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
Contra-rotating propellers on a Rolls-Royce–Griffon–powered P-51 unlimited racer
Quote:
While several nations experimented with contra-rotating propellers in aircraft, only the United Kingdom and Soviet Union produced them in large numbers. The first aircraft to be fitted with a contra-rotating propeller to fly though was in the US when two inventors from Ft Worth, Texas tested the concept on an aircraft.[3]

Martin-Baker MB 5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
The British Martin-Baker MB 5 was the ultimate development of a series of prototype fighter aircraft built during the Second World War. Neither the MB 5 nor its predecessors ever entered production, despite what test pilots described as excellent performance.......

Perhaps one of the reasons that the MB 5 did not go into production was because the Rolls Royce Griffon engine failed when the MB 5 was being demonstrated to Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, the Chief of the Air Staff and a host of other VIPs at an important display of British and captured German aircraft at Farnborough.[6] Another reason, stated by Michael Bowyer, is that Martin-Baker may have lacked both facilities and sufficient government support.
