Variants
The Kestrel was produced in 40 distinct variants which can be divided into three main groups, normally aspirated, medium supercharged and fully supercharged. One variant, the Kestrel VIII was configured as a 'pusher engine' for the Short Singapore flying boat. Apart from supercharging, the variant differences centred around varying compression ratios and propeller reduction gearing.
