Tiger
The final evolution in the Jaguar series was the Tiger, which retained the Panther's 5.25 inch bore but increased the stroke to 6 inches, giving a swept volume of 32.7 litres. The engine's power ranged from 570hp in the MkI version through to 860hp in the MkVIII. Armstrong Siddeley had previously used the Tiger name in 1918 for a V12 aero-engine
The MkIII Tiger was the first aircraft in the world to be fitted with a two-stage supercharger, an Armstrong Siddeley patented device.
