The in-line engine may be a concern, though.

The iberian teams are impressed by the published performances of the aircraft, but is a bit worried about the high rated power of the engine causing low reliability or underperforming.

Comment: the radical concept of the J.10bis is seen with a bit of caution between the iberian air ranks who were expecting a more conventional setup of twin wing-mounted engines. However the specs of the plane are generally liked.

The Isotta-Fraschini W1518 has a good 12 years of solid design history behind it where it has found a number of applications ranging from MAS boats, to aircraft and now to AFVs. It has gained an excellent reputation for reliability. This latest series for the newer generation of aircraft features a considerable re-design, increasing the engine speed and some changes to the cooling system and supercharger. BMEP is around the same as the Pegasus/Perseus.

It seems to have worked reasonably well so far starting in Italian service.

Fokker's pleased with the T.VI order, as they believe in thier plane, but a little disappointed the Do17 beat the T.VII, which seemed easily modifiable to meet all the specs.
