Re: MA-II Speed Potential
They're all single-stage Griffons, and thus not very amenable to being "hopped up." Except chemically (nice term, JS!), as was the plan for MA-II.
Also I've read several places that the contra-props have pretty crummy blade airfoils, so they aren't really the hot stuff you might think. Gotta remember- the Shackleton was basically a truck, not a hot rod.
