SUPERCHARGED aero engines are more or less a post-war invasion into the practical side of aero-engine design. The problem of power boosting for internal combustion engines, especially aero engines, has for several years engaged the attention of engine designers, with the result that to-day quite a number of engines are produced with superchargers as an integral part of the standard equipment. Various types of superchargers have been tried, such as the reciprocating pump, Roots Blower, exhaust-driven turbo compressor, and the gear-driven centrifugal form of blower. The last-named is the type most commonly used in this country at the present time.
