According to Gunston's book on Rolls-Royce aero engines, the stroke of this engine was 5.125" (slightly more than 130mm) and so the displacement was 2817 cubic inches or about 46.16 litres. 217.205.121.71 17:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering what the bore and stroke really are? The 5.4 bore might mean they used Merlin pistons. 5.4x5.125=2816.971ci. 137mm x 130mm = 2806.625ci. 5.4in=137.16mm / 5.125in=130.175mm AMCKen (talk) 01:16, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eagle 22?[edit]

Where is the name Eagle 22 coming from? In Fly Navy, Ray Williams refers to it as the R-R 46 Eagle. Emoscopes ^Talk 12:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably from Gunston's small "World Encyc. of Aero Engines", where the photo of this Eagle is captioned as a "Mk 22". However I think that's a Mk within the late-war Eagle series, not a defining identifier for the engine overall. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would make sense, R-R used even numbered marks for clockwise rotating engines. I don't see why the article should use 22 to disambiguate this against the earlier Eagle (anyway I think it's against the convention), so I'm going to move it over to Rolls-Royce Eagle (1944).

Officially it was known as the "Eagle Mk. XXII" (22). [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.172.166 (talk) 09:14, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Eagle XX (20) had been a planned larger version of the Rolls-Royce Eagle XVI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.11.216 (talk) 09:59, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
