Title
Report from Mr Daish Armstrong Siddeley Motors Experimental Department (Flight Section) to Mr Saxton: Mamba performance
Date
15 May 1953
Description

Page 1 of the performance data for the general version of the Mamba Ma.6 and Double Mamba Ma.D.3 and AS.Ma.D.4 issued during April 1953, reference is made to reducing the jet pipe diameter in order to maintain optimum performance at higher forward speeds. This, of course, is incorrect since the required reduction in exit area would be affected by fitting the appropriate nozzle to the standard size jet pipe. Attached are copies of the appropriately amended pages to replace the originals which should removed and destroyed
