	Rolls-Royce Avon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet was developed by Cyril Lovesey who had previously been in charge of Merlin development at Rolls-Royce.
		The Avon powered a range of aircraft including the de Havilland Comet, de Havilland Sea Vixen, English Electric Canberra, English Electric Lightning, Fairey Delta, Hawker Hunter, Sud-Aviation Caravelle, Supermarine Swift, Vickers Valiant, Dassault Mystère IV, SAAB A32 Lansen and SAAB Draken.
		In the US, the Avon was used to power the vertical landing Ryan X-13 Vertijet aircraft (in RA.28-49 form) and the Martin B-57.

	The Restoration of Pre war Rolls Royce and Bentley Cars.
		Although primarily involved with the restoration of Rolls Royce and Bentley cars we do also work on other Vintage cars, the picture to the left is of a 1938 328 BMW roadster which came to our workshops for a complete restoration.
		A 1934 Rolls Royce 20/25 4 door saloon with coachwork by Paddon Bros is visiting our workshops for routine servicing and maintenance work.
		The company was formed in 1971 by Barry Summerfield, and is dedicated to the restoration and servicing of pre war Rolls Royce and Bentley cars.

	Rolls-Royce and Its Aircraft Engines
		The rich man, Charles Stuart Rolls, was the son of the wealthy Lord Llangattock.
		Rolls made a roundtrip flight between Dover, England and Sangatte, France, on June 2, 1910.
		Twin Avons gave thrust to the English Electric Canberra bomber, built in the United States as the Martin B-57.

	Red Roo/Hasegawa 1/48 Avon Sabre
		The 30mm Aden cannon was chosen for the new armament, and the Rolls-Royce Avon RA-7 engine became the new powerplant, with an increase from the 6,100 lbs of thrust of the G.E. J-47 to 7,500 lbs of thrust with the Avon.
		The change in powerplant required a redesign of the Sabre's fuselage to cater to the increased airflow requirement of the Avon, and to the fact that the engine was 500 lbs lighter than the J-47, requiring that it be re-positioned further aft.
		Without photos of the cockpit of the Avon Sabre, I am not sure I actually got this right, but I also know there is a small chance anyone here in North America will know enough about the Australian version to catch this when looking at the model.

	Vickers Valiant
		Initial Valiant production aircraft featured four Rolls-Royce Avon 201 turbojet engines, with 4,301 kilograms (9,500 pounds) thrust each.
		The Type 674 was powered by Avon RA.14 engines with the same 4,310 kilograms (9,500 pounds) thrust each as the earlier Avon 201, while the Type 706 was powered by Avon RA.28 204 or 205 engines with 4,760 kilograms (10,500 pounds) thrust each, longer tailpipes, and water-methanol injection for takeoff boost power.
		However, the booster rockets were deemed unnecessary, due to the availability of more powerful Avon variants, as well as fear of accidents if one booster rocket failed on takeoff, resulting in asymmetric thrust.

	Rolls-Royce Avon
		The Avon was Rolls-Royce's first axial-flow jet and was developed to replace the Nene.
		Design of the Rolls-Royce Avon began in the late 1940s with the first production model being delivered in 1950.
		Initially designated the AJ.65 (axial jet, 6,500 lb thrust), the Avon went through several designations and is currently marketed as a stationary power source.

	The SAAB 35 Draken
		It was originally powered by a non-afterburning Svenska Flygmotor RM5A engine, a copy of the Avon Mark 21 and the same engine used to power the SAAB 32 Lansen, but the prototype was later reengined with a more powerful nonafterburning Avon Mark 43 engine, one of six provided by Rolls Royce.
		The second prototype, with a still more powerful Avon Mark 46 engine, had performed its first flight in March 1956, but it had bellied in a week before the accident that laid up the first prototype, and for the moment the program was dead in the water as far as flight tests were concerned.
		A drag chute was fitted at the base of the vertical tailplane to reduce landing roll.

	TransCanada Turbines: Silencing Testing Facility for LM2500 Models by Rolls-Royce Avon and GE
		The TCT facility would be used for testing a wide variety of turbines including Rolls-Royce Avon and General Electric models up to their LM2500, capable of producing sound levels ranging from 113.7 dBA to 115.3 dBA.
		With the noise levels associated with an airport industrial area, identifying noise from a specific source - say, a testing facility for aero-derivative gas turbines - could be considered a formidable task.
		After initial analysis, ATCO identified the primary external noise contributors as the walls of the test cell, the exhaust/ventilation openings, the air intake system and the combustion exhaust.

	Swiftly to Paris
		After being postponed from the preceding Wednesday by unsuitable weather, the attempt by a Supermarine Swift F.4 (Rolls-Royce Avon with reheat) on the London-Paris speed record was made - and with success - on Sunday last, July 5th.
		The reheat with which the Avon is fitted, he continued, was not in fact used during the outward journey.
		Michael Lithgow, Supermarine's chief test pilot, at the controls, the Swift took 19 min 5.6 sec for the trip to Paris, the average speed being 669.3 m.p.h.

		Rolls-Royce plans to integrate Fern's design, which features an expansion joint configuration that accommodates thermal growth, on all new Avons.
		Fern first developed the design in 1996 at the request of an Avon user, and has sold 27 units as after-market replacements.
		Fern's expansion joint design will also be utilized as a replacement part for existing Avons.

	F-86 Sabre
		The type was produced under licence by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation in Australia, re-engined with the Rolls Royce Avon, and also by Canadair in Canada.
		Later improvements led to the F-100 Super Sabre, which was a larger aircraft with more powerful engines.
		Famous astronaut John Glenn also flew an F-86 during the war as a Marine Corps pilot.

	J 35 Draken
		This model had a Rolls-Royce Avon 200 engine (Swedish designation RM 6B) which gave a thrust of 6.535 kp together with a domestic designed after-burner.
		The engine was now changed to the stronger Rolls-Royce Avon 300 (RM 6C), delivering a thrust of 7.880 kp with the afterburner activated.
		The deliveries of the first production variant, J 35A, began in 1959.

	Type 188
		Originally Rolls-Royce Avon RA.24R engines were proposed, but later DH Gyron Junior DGJ.10 engines became available and were substituted; they were mounted forward of the main stuctural nacelle barrels, which were machined from stainless steel forgings with internal integral ring frames corresponding with the multiple inner and outer wing attachment lugs.
		G3693 The first Bristol turbojet aeroplane to be built and flown, the Type 188, was almost the last true Bristol type to fly, when the British Aircraft Corporation had been in existence for nearly two years.

	Hunter F6a
		The single seat swept wing fighter was powered by the new 7,500 Ib thrust Rolls-Royce Avon jet, being armed with four 30 mm Aden guns in a detachable under fuselage gun pack.
		Hawkers then developed the improved F.6 which was ordered in quantity by the RAF having a more powerful 10,000 lb thrust Avon for improved performance and it could carry four underwing fuel tanks, bombs or rocket projectiles.
		The F.4 flew in the autumn of 1954 being an improvement over the short range F.1, carrying more fuel and underwing stores, and after replacing the F.1's based at home it was issued to RAF squadrons in Germany.

	Avon Progress
		Additional details may now be published of the development of the Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet that has been effected during the past four years.
		Performance prediction for the early Avons was very conservative, the experimental RA.2 having a rating of but 6,000 lb.
		This was later raised to 6,500 lb in the RA.3 which went into production in June, 1950, to power the Canberra.

	J 32 Lansen
		This version was fitted with a license-built Rolls-Royce Avon Series 200 engine.
		With the after-burner, developed by Svenska Flygmotor together with Rolls-Royce, a thrust of 6.600 kp could be obtained.
		The result was the SAAB 32 Lansen (the Lance), a two-seated aircraft with swept wings (29 degrees).
