Summary: Bristol Olympus Turbojet aircraft Airplane blueprint for the Bristol, Olympus, , Turbojet ... Aviation history and aircraft blueprints/plans. The Bristol Olympus is a high-thrust turbojet engine having a light weight and a low specific fuel consumption. The unique combination of light weight for high power and low specific fuel consumption is largely due to the two-spool layout of the Olympus, and is precisely suited to the requirements of the modern bomber, which must have the maximum possible height over the target, with high speed and immense range carrying its designed war load. Moreover, particularly in versions employing reheat, the Olympus is remarkably well suited to operation at transonic and moderate supersonic speeds. Its basic lightness combined with reheat operation provides an exceptional thrust: weight ratio for the high-altitude interceptor, and the all-weather fighter, while its low fuel consumption for cruising gives long duration, both at high and low altitudes.
Earlier versions of the Olympus power the Vulcan B Mark 1 already established in service with Bomber Command. These versions include the Olympus 101 of 11,0001b thrust, the Mark 102 of 12,0001b thrust, and the Mark 104 which has a Type Tested rating of 13,0001b static thrust.
The performance of these engines, and in particular their case of handling, has received high praise both from pilots and ground crews. The rapidity of acceleration and the General excellence of control are direct results of the two-spool principle employed, which was pioneered by Bristol and has now been adopted by other famous manufacturers.
NOTE: A bit wider then our standard blueprints. This blueprint is 24"X40"
