== Specifications table diameter inconsistency: 3.7 m ≠ 12.3 ft ==

The specifications table lists the engine diameter as "3.7 m (12.3 ft)", but these two values do not convert to each other:

: 3.7 m × 3.28084 ft/m = '''12.14 ft''' (not 12.3 ft)
: 12.3 ft × 0.3048 m/ft = '''3.749 m''' (not 3.7 m)

The two stated values differ by approximately 5 cm (about 2 inches), which is significant for a precisely specified engine dimension. Either the metric value should be 3.75 m (if 12.3 ft is correct), or the imperial value should be 12.1 ft (if 3.7 m is correct). One of the two needs to be corrected to match the actual reference dimension.

For comparison, the height is listed as "5.8 m (19 ft)" — 5.8 m × 3.28084 = 19.03 ft ≈ 19 ft, which is consistent. The diameter entry appears to have been rounded or copied inconsistently.
