Aircraft engine

An aircraft engine, often referred to as an aero engine, is the power component of an aircraft propulsion system.

The Airspeed AS.57 Ambassador is a British twin piston-engined airliner that was designed and produced by the British aircraft manufacturer Airspeed Ltd. It was one of the first postwar airliners to be produced.

See Napier Eland and Airspeed Ambassador

Allison T56

The Allison T56 is an American single-shaft, modular design military turboprop with a 14-stage axial flow compressor driven by a four-stage turbine.

See Napier Eland and Allison T56

Bristol Proteus

The Bristol Proteus was the Bristol Engine Company's first mass-produced gas turbine engine design, a turboprop that delivered just over 4,000 hp (3,000 kW).

Canadair CC-109 Cosmopolitan

The Canadair CL-66 was a turboprop version of the civilian Convair CV-440 Metropolitan.

Convair CV-240 family

The Convair CV-240 is an American airliner that Convair manufactured from 1947 to 1954, initially as a possible replacement for the ubiquitous Douglas DC-3.

Fairey Rotodyne

The Fairey Rotodyne was a 1950s British compound gyroplane designed and built by Fairey Aviation and intended for commercial and military uses.

See Napier Eland and Fairey Rotodyne

Gyrodyne

A gyrodyne is a type of VTOL aircraft with a helicopter rotor-like system that is driven by its engine for takeoff and landing only, and includes one or more conventional propeller or jet engines to provide forward thrust during cruising flight.

See Napier Eland and Gyrodyne

Honeywell T55

The Honeywell T55 (formerly Lycoming; company designation LTC-4) is a turboshaft engine used on American helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft (in turboprop form) since the 1950s, and in unlimited hydroplanes since the 1980s. Napier Eland and Honeywell T55 are 1950s turboshaft engines.

Jet fuel

Jet fuel or aviation turbine fuel (ATF, also abbreviated avtur) is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines.

Time between overhauls

Time between overhauls (abbreviated as TBO or TBOH) is the manufacturer's recommended number of running hours or calendar time before an aircraft engine or other component requires overhaul.

See Napier Eland and Time between overhauls

Tip jet

A tip jet is a jet nozzle at the tip of some helicopter rotor blades, used to spin the rotor, much like a Catherine wheel firework.

Turboshaft

A turboshaft engine is a form of gas turbine that is optimized to produce shaft horsepower rather than jet thrust.
