	Napier Lion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lion was a 12-cylinder W-block inline aircraft engine built by Napier and Son starting in 1917, and ending in the 1930s.
		Lions powered successful entrants in the most prestigious event in air racing, the Schneider Cup, in 1922 and 1927, but were then dropped by Supermarine in favour of a new, especially designed for racing, engine from Rolls-Royce.
		A marine version of the Lion, called not surprisingly the Sea Lion was used to power high speed rescue launches operated by the RAF.

	Sir Charles Napier (1782-1853)
		Napier was five times wounded: his leg was broken by a musket shot, he received a sabre cut on the head, a bayonet wound in the back, severe contusions from the butt end of a musket, and his ribs were broken by a gunshot.
		Napier then suddenly sallied forth in three columns, moved by forced marches, surprised the tribes, captured thousands of cattle, most of their grain supply, forced the enemy into the hills, and waited at the entrances to the passes for his guns and commissariat.
		Napier ordered that the native officers, non-commissioned officers, and private sepoys of the 66th regiment should be marched to Ambala, and there struck off the rolls, and that the colours should be delivered to the loyal men of the Nasiri Ghurkha battalion, who should in future be called the 66th or Ghurka regiment.

	Brighton-Early : Napier
		Despite Edge's claims, Napier did not invent the six-cylinder engine, nor was it the first firm to use one for a motorcar, but it was the first to make the six-cylinder car a commercial success.
		Napier parts were exported, thus attracting a much lower tariff, assembled in Boston and had locally-made bodies fitted.
		In the same year Napier bought out Edge's rights and the diversification of its engineering activities was continued; the success of the Napier Lion aero engine during and after the Great War pointing the way forward.

		Their post-World War I Lion was the most powerful engine in the world for some time in the 1920s and into the 1930s, and their Sabre design of the early 1940s holds the title for the most powerful piston aircraft engine produced to this day, delivering 3,500 hp (2,600 kW) in its later versions.
		Napier developed a marine engine from the Lion aero engine, the petrol-driven Sea Lion, which could deliver 500 hp and were used in the "Whaleback" Air Sea Rescue Launches.
		During the war (1944) Napier were asked by the Royal Navy to supply a diesel engine for use in their patrol boats, but the Culverin's 720 hp (537 kW) was not nearly enough for their needs.

	History 1
		D. Napier and Son is an under-rated company which has not only manufactured superb products bringing credit to this country, but has also been responsible for the training of engineers to carry its standards of excellence to be used by other industries.
		Napiers realized the fundamental features for an aero-engine, low weight, smallest possible frontal area and maximum power, this generally means squeezing many cylinders into a small volume.
		When World War II broke out it soon became clear that the Napier powered aircraft were too slow and the demand was for aircraft to be fitted with engines having in excess of 1,000 bhp.

	Back Room: Engine Design.
		The Napier Lion was also a W engine of sorts - twelve cylinders arranged in three rows of four on a common crankshaft.
		Its capacity came from the reciprocating section which fed a gas turbine with a very rich fuel air mix which was burnt again in the turbine which at the same time sent some of its air to the engine (like a turbo) and the whole thing went on again.
		Napier also designed some similarly ground breaking aircraft piston engines,starting with the extraordinary Sabre,which was hampered by lack of resources,and,it is whispered,industrial sabotage of a political kind by a competitor who was not Bristol.

	HAC S5
		However, despite its age and lower power than was available from contemporary Italian and American engines, Mitchell was convinced that the Lion could be developed to produce sufficient power to allow a modified design, known as the S5, to be competitive for the 1926 race.
		When first produced in 1919/20, the Lion engine was rated at less than 300 hp.
		The excellence of the original design allowed the special racing version used in the S5 to output nearly three times the designed output, and a later supercharged version of the engine was persuaded to produce over 1,100 hp, all from the same swept capacity of the original engine.

	History 2
		Early in the war, Scott-Paine recognized that Britain would be hampered by lack of supplies of engines and other materials and so Scotty decided that he would look to the other side of the Atlantic for supplies of both machinery and timber.
		He had, in the past, relied on Napier Lion engines to power his vessels.
		(The 'Lion' engines later went on to add the world land speed and water speed records to the air speed record that they had won earlier.) To obtain more power, Napiers had switched their production line to their newer 'Dagger' and 'Sabre' engines and consequently, had little capacity for production of the old 'Lion' engines.
