  Bristol Aquila - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aquila was developed at the same time as the somewhat larger Perseus, both being sleeve valve designs.
The primary difference was in size, the Perseus was based on the 5.75 by 6.5 in (146 by 165 mm) cylinder used in the famous Jupiter engine, while the Aquila used a new and smaller 5 by 5.4 in (127 by 137 mm) sized cylinder.
The first Aquila engine delivered a modest 365 horsepower (270 kW), which was hardly spectacular for an engine of this size.

 Bristol Taurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bristol had originally intended to use the Aquila and Perseus as two of its major designs in the 1930s, but the rapid increase in size and speed of aircraft in the 1930s demanded much larger engines than either of these.
The mechanicals from both of these designs were then put into two-row configuations to develop much larger engines, the Aquila becoming the Taurus, and the Perseus becoming the Hercules.
Unlike the earlier engines, where the sleeve valve was a new and untried design, the Taurus was fairly well understood and was delivered running at almost the same power it ended with, at 1,015 hp (760 kW).

 Bristol Aquila
During the compression and power stroke, the sleeve is at the top of its travel and its ports rise above the level of internal sealing rings in the cylinder head, which in the case of sleeve valves, are called “junk heads.” Two spark plugs near the center of the junk head provide ignition.
The Aquila, Bristol’s second sleeve-valve engine design, was patterned closely after the Perseus, but with smaller dimensions (5.00” bore, 5.375” stroke, displacement of 950 cu in).
Aquila development began in 1933 with the first complete engine appearing in 1934, producing a rated power of 420 hp at 2,475 rpm.
