... "Crazeagle" wrote in message ... Correction : 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. Best John |

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? "John Mullen" wrote in message ... "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ...

Sure, thats true of most engines in fact 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. Quite true. Keith |

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? -- John |
