The Aquila was a nine-cylinder single-row radial aircraft engine designed by the Bristol Engine Company starting in 1934. A sleeve valve engine, its basic design was developed from the Bristol Perseus. The Aquila was never used in production, but further developments led to the Bristol Hercules, Bristol Taurus, and Bristol Centaurus.
The Bristol Hercules is a 14-cylinder two-row radial aircraft engine designed by Sir Roy Fedden and produced by the Bristol Engine Company starting in 1939. It was the most numerous of their single sleeve valve ( Burt-McCollum , or Argyll , type) designs, powering many aircraft in the mid- World War II timeframe.
Both of the proposed aircraft were originally intended to be powered by the Bristol Perseus radial engine, capable of producing 850 hp (634 kW). [1] At a late stage, the Air Ministry decided to revise the specification and re-issue it as M.10/36; the principal change was that the aircraft was abruptly required to accommodate a crew of four ...
