Yes - just like the Packard Merlins of WWII....
Ja, I should have added some sort of smiley or explained further. That was my point, however badly made.The Harrier design itself comes from Britain. McDonnell-Douglas did the Harrier II in partnership with British Aerospace. The Merlins were produced under liscense by Packard during the war, and Rolls-Royce was quick enough in pulling the liscence after the war, leaving the Twin Mustang with improved Allison V-1710's.
