I like that ... Good point.
However this shld lead to a certain amount of "latency" with DI eng being more reactive upon power changes by the pilot
Regarding the Merlin as an airliner eng, it has proved unreliable as high power value were run only at high boost and then prove to be non-efficient (the cruise power has always been low); Add to the disastrous engineering of Britain's airliner projects tht seems to hve been hand-ended by gvrnmt officials (don't take me wrong France had to face the very same situation until legitimate firms could emerge out of the bundle in earlies 60's) and you'll end with a more pragmatic vision of the failure of the British industry in perspective of the US success stories like Boeing/Doug/Lockheed right after war end.
Humm hve we run OT (out of topic) again?
