Judging from Merc possibly/allegedly being able to run their engines in a very lean high power mode last year... and now this, I can't help wondering if there is a corealation and Merc have made some clever cooling tech advances to allow them to be able to do either.

"The intercooler that I was talking about, I think, comes from Reaction Engines in Oxfordshire, the people who are doing this sort of air breathing rocket motor, and the sort of spin-off from that has been this really extremely efficient heat exchanger technology."

Nice quote find Baggie, thanks.:)
Had to google the company, looks to be real cutting edge thermal managment.

I doubt Merc are the only ones using this tech though.
