	Armstrong Siddeley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Armstrong Siddeley Motors of Coventry were founded in 1917.
		Armstrong Siddeley's most powerful engine was the F9 Sapphire but this engine was developed by Metrovick and given to Armstrong Siddeley when the former company withdrew from the aircraft engine industry.
		In 1959 Armstrong Siddeley merged with Bristol Aero Engines and the new company, known as Bristol Siddeley, went on to achive even greater things.

	The Viper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The original Shackleton requirement was for the Vipers to be used for two minutes only, as takeoff boost to replace the water methanol injection on the Griffons and hence improve their reliability, or so we were told.
		The actual Viper 11 (the second generation of Vipers) Mk.203 engine was closer to that still used today in the Jindivik (now a remote controlled target tug) than the same generation Jet Provost T.Mk.4 and 5 engine.
		The Viper was developed through two more "generations", the 3,0001bs thrust 301/500 series for the full civil passenger carrying Dominie/HS125 where overhaul lives of 5,500 hours were cleared, and it is also used in the Strikemaster and later Macchi MB326 armed trainers.

		Yet the Viper is no mere retro-car; it incorporates all the technological advances which were available to its designers in the early 1990s, and it is all the better for that.
		The Viper's all-aluminium eight-litre V10 engine was developed with technical assistance from Chrysler-owned Lamborghini, and it puts out 450bhp with a staggering 490/lb/ft of torque in GTS form.
		And its modern technology means that the Viper does not suffer from the poor brakes and handling so often associated with the great muscle cars of the 1960's.

	Bristol Aero Collection
		It was merged with Armstrong Siddeley in 1959 to become Bristol Siddeley Engines, and in 1961 absorbed Blackburn and de Havilland engine companies.
		Part of this energy is used in driving the turbine wheel, which causes the engine shaft to rotate, the rest of the energy goes into expansion of the burnt gas, to form the high-speed jet exhaust which drives the aircraft forward.
		A scaled-down version of the engine, the Bristol Siddeley Gyron Junior, was used on the Bristol 188 stainless steel research aircraft, which was designed to investigate the effect of supersonic speeds on airframe structure.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Armstrong Siddeley Adder
		The Armstrong-Siddeley Adder was an early British turbojet engine developed by the Armstrong Siddeley company and first run in November 1948.
		The Adder, a pure-jet derivative of the Armstrong Siddeley Mamba, was originally developed as an expendable engine to power the Jindivik 1 target drone.
		The Adder was flight tested in the tail of the Avro Lancaster III SW342, the aircraft also having been previously modified and used for icing trials of the Mamba by Armstrong Siddeley's Flight Test Department at Bitteswell.

		Eleven TMk1s were built with the first to fly on the 26th June 1954 at Luton with a Dick Wheldon at the controls, powered by the Armstrong Siddeley Viper ASV 5 1640 lb thrust engine.
		Of the other Mk2s, G AOUS was the company demonstrator fitted with the powerful ASV11 Viper of 2500lbs thrust later to be used in the Mk4 version, this aircraft crashed near Biggleswade on Nov 16 1960.
		XS 231 was given the Viper ASV20 engine 3000lbs thrust, and was labelled the BAC 166 which was the developmental aircraft to make the ultimate J.P, the Strikemaster, it was given the civil reg of G ATAJ.

	Delta Jets
		Developed by Hunting Percival Aircraft from it's piston Provost primary trainer of the late 1940's, the Jet Provost was built in response to a 1953 RAF requirement for a jet powered primary trainer so as to provide pupils with all through jet training.
		A fairly simple re-design led to the Alvis Leonides engine in the nose being replaced by an Armstrong Siddeley Viper jet of 1750 Ib thrust, and the fitting of a nose wheel undercarriage.
		This was of advantage to student pilots who were progressing to more advanced training as they could receive more advanced instruction at higher altitudes, and 185 T.4's were delivered to the RAF between November 1961 and the middle of 1964.

		Other Western Powers also followed suit: the UK with the Folland (Hawker Siddeley) Midge/Gnat, the USA with the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, and Italy with the Fiat G.91.
		The latter two are not true fighters, the Skyhawk being Attack category and the G.91 Strike Fighter -- whereas the Gnat was a lightweight fighter with strike capability, namely a basic 2x500-lb bombs or 12x3-in ground-attack rockets.
		Dassault's design, the MD 550 Mirage I, was powered by two 1,640-pounds (static) thrust Armstrong-Siddeley Viper turbojets (for which Dassault had a production licence, as the MD-30), with provision for the installation of a 3,300-lbt SEPR 66 rocket motor in the rear fuselage.

	X-14
		Built under a US Air Force contract, the X-14 used a planar array of diverter vanes to vector the exhaust of two Armstrong Siddeley ASV8 Viper engines (1,750 lb thrust each) at the center of gravity.
		These thrust diverter vanes were located behind the engines direct the powerful jet blast toward the ground to lift the airplane into the air.
		The Viper engines were replaced with higher power GE J85 engines when it was transferred to NASA in 1960.

		He had misgivings about the trend towards ever more technically complex and therefore costly interceptor fighters, and saw in the new small turbojets being developed an opportunity to reverse this.
		The Midge prototype G-39-1 appeared on 11 August 1954, powered by a 1640 lb thrust Armstrong Siddeley Viper 101.
		This was followed by G-39-2, the prototype Gnat, which had its maiden flight on 18 July 1955 at Boscombe Down, powered by a 3,285 lb thrust Bristol Orpheus B.Or.1 engine.

	Avrocar - TinWiki.org
		A test model, Project PV704 financed by Avro Canada, powered by six Armstrong Siddeley Viper jet engines driving a central rotor, was built and housed inside a small, brick testing rig.
		It eventually got to the point that staff were afraid of the machine, even when safely ensconced in a booth constructed of bullet-proof glass and quarter-inch-thick steel.
		A final, disastrous and nearly lethal engine test in 1956 which involved a Viper jet engine "running wild" convinced Frost that a less dangerous test vehicle was necessary.

	Bristol Siddeley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Initially these drones were to be fitted with the Viper ASV1, a short-life engine interchangeable with the Adder and of similar thrust rating.
		To meet this requirement the Jindivik Mk 1 was redesigned with a thinner wing, larger air intake and duct and mated to the 1640 lb thrust Armstrong Siddeley Viper ASV3 turbojet.

		The aircraft was moved to Dick Melton Aviation at Micheldever, Hants in early 1992, and the 30 year-old Armstrong Siddeley Viper 5 engine removed and placed in the hands of Kennet Aviation's own engineering team, led by Dave Horsfield and Peter Walker for rebuild.
		The Jet Provost's Viper 5 power plant is a side drive shaft engine, and the all-important drive shaft was missing.
		This particular mark of Viper was only ever fitted to the T.1 version of the JP, so spares could not be obtained from engines fitted in other variants of the trainer.

	FOLLAND GNAT - HISTORY
		Eventually just to get things going Petter went with the Armstrong-Siddeley Viper, a promising new engine that would be suitable for a small prototype to test out the basics of the lightweight fighter design.
		Petter had finally struck it lucky on the engine side of things, because Bristol had gone ahead the year before with a privately funded project for a new engine which would be eminently suitable for the Gnat design.
		This would become the Orpheus, and its larger size compared to the Viper meant that the Gnat, as well as having the larger wings already decided upon, would now have a wider fuselage than the Midge.
