Hi all,

interesting read indeed!

I have to wonder though why the Ducted Fan Jets of the day did not use the Uniflow system?

As you can see from the diagram below BVM used remote Mixture Control to compensate for the "leaning" of the engine as the tanks emptied. Why wouldn't they use Uniflow instead? It would be hard to believe that BVM did not know about the Uniflow principle...

Anyone?
