Summary

Description

Taken directly from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Sabre">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napier_Sabre</a>:

The Sabre was a 24-cylinder four-stroke sleeve valve piston aircraft engine designed by Major Frank Halford and built by Napier & Son during WWII. It was one of the most powerful piston aircraft engines in the world, especially for inline designs, developing over 3,500 horsepower (2,200 kW) in its later versions and 4,000 hp in late-model prototypes. However, the rapid conversion to jet engines after the war led to the quick demise of the Sabre, as Napier also turned to jets.
