 Bristol Centaurus
The Centaurus was the ultimate development of Bristol Engine Company's series of sleeve valve radial aircraft engines, a massive 18-cylinder two-row design that eventually delivered over 3,000hp.
In this case the "classic" 5.75" piston from their original 1918 Jupiter was placed in a longer-stroke cylinder, which combined with the new cylinders made the displacement jump from the Hercules's 2364 cubic inches to a massive 3270, making it one of the largest piston aircraft engines built.
It was used in both the the Bristol Britannia[?] and the ill-fated Brabazon[?].

 Bristol Aero Collection
Bristol started building aero engines on the Filton site around 1920, but the line can be traced back to the Brazil-Staker motorcar manufacturer, who built Rolls-Royce engines under licence during World War I. The company was taken over by Cosmos Engineering, who built the Mercury and the Jupiter radial engines.
The Bristol Hercules has 14 cylinders in two rows, and is a sleeve-valved radial air-cooled engine.
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.

 Bristol Owners Club : History of the Bristol Marque   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Bristol Blenheim (shown left) was introduced to Royal Air Force service in 1937, and its younger sister by just one year, the Bristol Beaufighter, was introduced to RAF service in 1938.
A frequent query is “why was the Bristol model that succeeded the Type 411 called the Type 603?” The answer is that it was introduced in the 603rd year after the City of Bristol had been granted its Royal charter, which gave it the unique distinction of being "a County unto itself".
In November 1999, the Bristol Blenheim 3 was revealed, advancing further the aerodynamic development of the the car including a completely new frontal treatment incorporating a cleverly engineered aerofoil section in the grille aperture.

Wonders were performed but with the small six-cylinder Bristol engine, but it became apparent that more litres were necessary if the performance of the future was to be allied with traditional luxury.
The Bristol is a big impressive car, and naturally the four occupants have plenty of headroom and generous space to stretch their legs.
The Bristol 410 is full of safety features, ensuring protection for the occupants in the event of an accident, but its acceleration, brakes, and roadholding are the best safety insurance of all.

 Hallam-Vac 1/72 Bristol Brigand Mk I, by Carmel J Attard
Brigands are known for the numerous attacks on terrorist camps in the jungle using bombs and rockets.
Many Brigands were later on converted to radar training units designated T4s and were later on modified to T5s while continued in service until March 19568.
A genuine way of moulding is that Hallam-Vac of Sheffield produces a 1/72-scale model of the Bristol Brigand B.Mk1., which is a light ground attack bomber.

 Bristol Aeroplane Company - ExampleProblems.com
The Bristol Aeroplane Company (formerly British and Colonial Aeroplane Company) was a major British aircraft company which was nationalised in 1959 to become part of the British Aircraft Corporation.
The Bristol Aeroplane Company began building primitive Bristol Boxkites in a former tram shed and became famous for the production of the war-time Blenheim and Beaufighter, the Brabazon airliner prototype, the Britannia and Freighter and the Belvedere and Sycamore helicopters.
In 1959 Bristol was forced to merge with English Electric, Hunting Aircraft and Vickers-Armstrongs to form the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), later to become part of British Aerospace, now BAE Systems.

 Engines
Its 18 cylinders are arranged in two rows giving it a diameter of 55.3 ins (1.405 mt) with a weight of 3400 lbs (1 540 kg), the Centaurus epitomised the peak of British radial piston engine development and was produced for both military and civil use.
Bristol Mercury XV Like all Bristol piston-engines, the Mercury was an air-cooled radial engine and was developed in 1927 from the earlier supercharged Jupiter, also a 9-cylinder power plant and from which it differed mainly by having a reduction gear and a shorter stroke.
However, its versatility eventually enabled it to be mounted on types of aircraft, from twin-engined types as the Bristol Blenheim, to trainers as the Miles Martinet and Master 11, and utility aircraft as the Supermarine Sea Otter and Westland Lysander.
