I had a long talk
with Al Joneck(s?) the engineer on this project
and he tells me the fan does not rotate as fast as
one would think. The pressure on the front fan blades
is somewhat canceled by the pressure on the rear blades
according to Al.

Are you saying 2 fans per core, one in front and one in back?
How were the rear fans mounted? (backwards to the core) Are the rear ones simple DC motors that will tolerate reverse voltage operation?

The other side of the engine looks exactly the same right down to dual intercoolers.
One fan per water rad.
I guess you missed the Engineair tent. It was over by the small food stands.
