1. Fuel injection, 2. Bearing, 2. Surging

Posted August 25, 2009 7:00 PM by davah

The fuel injection plagued FW for a long time and caused a lot of consternation when testing. These were overcome by G.J. Gollin on a commission from FW. The bearing problem was overcome by FW and his small team, and the surging problem eventually surcummed to the Rolls Royce engineering department.
