The Hawker Typhoon/Tempest Sabre engine with 'chin' scoop had 3 major ram air items set in concentric form..
..engine air intake in the centre, with oil cooler in an annular drum shape around it & the glycol radiator was 'wrapped' around that..
..except for the Tempest Mk VI, which used the whole scoop for the radiator matrix & adopted the Mk II wing based air inlets/oil-cooler..


& as for fast 'n' low-flying.. this massive beast does nothing but, when on ops.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Nu94khHoo
