Without Rolls-Royce & SNECMA (french) Olympus Concorde can not fly
;-)



The Olympus engine predates Concorde having been
initially developed by Bristol Aero-Engines in 1950
and used in the Avro Vulcan and TSR-2

Well, sort of.

Vulcan (B1)

4 Bristol-Siddeley Olympus 101 (11,000 lb), 102 (12,000 lb) or 104s (13,500
lb)

Vulcan (B2)

4 Bristol-Siddeley Olympus 201 (17,000 lb) or 301s (20,000 lb)

TSR-1

Olympus 22R Mk.320

Thrust 13865kg
Dry Thrust 8880kg

Concorde

Olympus 593 Mk 610-14-28

Dry 139.4 kN (31,350 lb st)
Afterburner 169.2 kN (38,050 lb st)

As I'm sure you know already the Olympus was a family of engines developed
over a 20 year period. Weren't some of them also used in ships? I'm sure
also that I've seen a pic of a Vulcan with an underslung 593 under test
during the Concorde development programme. THe size difference is very
noticeable.

Slight digression, but wasn't a Vulcan used in the development of the RB199
for Tornado? Carried in a 'pod' underneath that was a replica of the
proposed air intake solution?

Sure, thats true of most engines in fact

Quite true.

Wouldn't surprise me, it was also used as Pegasus test bed. Wasn't one
Vulcan testbed damaged when an engine for TSR2 exploded on the ground?
