	Bristol Jupiter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bristol Jupiter was a British 9-cylinder one-row piston radial engine used in the 1930s and 1940s aircraft.
		It was built under license in France as the Gnome-Rhone Jupiter and in the Soviet Union as the M-22.
		In Japan, the Jupiter was license-built from 1924 by Nakajima, forming the basis of their own subsequent radial aero-engine design, the Kotobuki.

	Bristol Mercury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bristol Mercury was a 9-cylinder one-row piston radial engine used on British aircraft in the 1930s and 1940s.
		The Mercury was developed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1925 as their Bristol Jupiter was reaching the end of its lifespan.
		The Bristol Mercury was also a newspaper from Bristol, published in the 1800s.

	Gnome et Rhône - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Between 1914 and 1918 they produced 25,000 of their 9-cylinder Delta and Le Rhône 110 hp (81 kW) rotary designs, while another 75,000 were produced by various licensees, powering the majority of aircraft in the first half of the war on both sides of the conflict.
		In 1921 they took out a license for the Bristol Jupiter, which was in the process of becoming the Gnome of its era.
		All of these engines were delivered in a variety of improved versions, named with a three letter code; the first letter was the series number (a through f for instance), the second a r or l depending on which direction the engine turned, and the third indicating the charging system.

	BRISTOL AIRCRAFT AND ENGINES
		The Bristol Fighter was one of the outstanding military planes of the World War I period.
		However, Bristol put more effort into devising new versions of the Jupiter than Armstrong did with the Jaguar, and by 1929, the Jupiter was clearly superior.
		In addition, the work of this period initiated the practice of using Bristol engines with Bristol aircraft even when motors from firms such as Rolls-Royce were available.

	History of the Bristol Flying School - 1923 to 1927
		In 1924, Bristol Fighters with Jupiter IV engines were introduced into the School and eventually replaced the 'Puma' fighters.
		At the end of 1924, a Bristol Fighter with a Jupiter IV engine was introduced to the school and much of the routine flight development work on this engine was accomplished during normal School training flying.
		This aircraft, engined with the Jupiter IV, proved a very fine School aircraft both as regards its flight characteristics and ease of maintenance, and was in use for Reserve Training until 1933.

	Bristol 105 Bulldog - fighter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Bristol Jupiter engine, which in the initial production Bulldog II was a 328kW Jupiter VII, was mounted in a streamlined nose with its cylinders projecting uncowled but with streamlined fairings and cooling baffles.
		After final evaluation against the Hawker Hawfinch the Bulldog was selected in 1928, Bristol having quickly produced a Mk II prototype with a longer fuselage and other changes to rectify previous minor faults.
		By November 1933 Bristol had built 262 of this model, of which eight went to Sweden and 253 to the RAF.

	Military Prop
		Following the reduction in military spending after the war, Cosmos became bankrupt in 1920, and was eventually purchased by the Bristol Aeroplane Compny, largely on the strengths of the Jupiter design.
		The Jupiter was of conventional design, but featured four valves per cylinder, which was rare at the time.
		The Jupiter is best known in civil aviation for powering the Handley Page HP42 Hannibal airliner and the huge Dornier DO X flying boat, which used no less than twelve engines.

		Bristol 182 (P-GB-AM-B-?-?-J2) The Bristol 182R was designed for the 'Blue Rapier' project that asked for an unmanned, catapult-launched bomber.
		Bristol 188 (P-GB-A-X-D-N-JW2) The Bristol 188 was designed as a research aircraft for the {Avro 730} programme (itself cancelled).
		It was adapted from an earlier turreted fighter design, and as a consequence had a strange armament layout: the three 20mm guns were fitted behind the cockpit, pointing around 15 degrees up; the two in the lower fuselage were aligned at the same angle.

		As Bristol Jupiter engine had been selected for license production in the Polish Skoda works, two new variants of the plane were prepared - PZL P.6 with Jupiter VIFH engine, and PZL P.7 with the low-altitude Jupiter VIF engine variant.
		The second prototype, fitted with Bristol Mercury IVA engine was flown in December 1931, and attained the speed of 346 km/h (215 mph).
		The fuselage and tail were redesigned, and the provision was made for installing additional two machine guns in the wings (the PZL P.11a had two Vickers F 7.9mm machine guns in the fuselage).

		Centrally mounted engines driving driving wing-mounted airscrews was a concept that was explored with the large four-engined Bristol Tramp, the twin-engined Boulton Paul Bodmin and the next design to emerge from Parnall: the single-engined Possum.
		Both the Tramp and the Possum were triplanes with twin tractor airscrews driven by shafts from the fuselage.

	History of the Bristol Flying School - 1932 to 1939
		In 1933 a change of policy in Reserve Training resulted in cessation of flying on the 'Bristol' Jupiter Training machine and the complete re-equipment of the School with Tiger Moth aircraft.
		Both 'ab inito' and annual reserve training was carried out on this type of aircraft - the annual training being extended to 20 hours, during which exercises in air navigation, photography and reconnaissance and blind flying had to be completed.
		Training of navigators and wireless operators of the Volunteer Reserve was started at Filton in the Spring of 1939, and in September 1939, both Schools were fully employed on their various types of training when War broke out.

		Based heavily on Siemens/Bramo's earlier experience producing the Bristol Jupiter under license, the engine was not particularly modern and saw limited use.
		Development of the 323 started as an enlarged version of the Jupiter, developing it from the original into the "Germanized" Sh.20 and Sh.21 in 1929.
		In the mid-1930s the RLM rationalized engine naming and Bramo was given the 300-block of numbers, the Sh.14 and Sh.22 becoming the Bramo 314 and 322 respectively.

	Imperial Airways - Bristol 75 Ten Seater
		Born of a British Treasury decision to subsidize the development of a number of approved air transport companies, the Bristol Type 62 Ten-Seater was originally to have been a six passenger aircraft (with a crew of two) and powered by a Bristol Jupiter engine.
		Early in 1921, however, this powerplant had yet to receive type approval, and when a 450 hp (336 kW) Napier Lion became available the basic design was scaled up to carry a pilot and nine passengers.
		The third airframe was also fitted with a Bristol Jupiter engine and was completed, after some redesign, as the Brandon troop-carrier and ambulance aircraft it also featured new shorter-span (54 ft 1 in/16.48 m) wings of broader chord, and could carry two stretchers and four seated patients, or three stretchers and a medical attendant.

	Indian Air Force Wapitis - Polly Singh
		This exposure to military aviation and the sacrifice of tens of thousands of Indians who died on foreign soil in the service of the crown during the war, gave rise to increasing demands for officer commissions in the armed forces and particularly for the formation of an independent Indian Air Arm.
		These were the 460hp Bristol Jupiter VIII, F, IX, F direct drive or 486/512hp Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar S or 527/570hp Panther II geared, partially or fully supercharged engine.
		Many Jupiter VIII engines are available with the South African Air Force Museum and enough data is available to credibly restore the only remaining Wapiti in the world.
