The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 is a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The first reheat variant, the Bristol Siddeley Olympus Mk 320, powered the cancelled BAC TSR-2 supersonic strike aircraft. For Concorde, this was developed during the 1960s into the Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593, being further developed through several subsequent versions to eventually provide reliable airline service. The Olympus 593 is a ...
With new engines, the TSR-2 XR219 flew another 23 times before the project was cancelled in 1965. [30] By this time the engine had accumulated 6,000 hours of testing, including 800 hours of operation in reheat, with an additional 61 flight hours in the Vulcan test bed, and a further additional 26 flight hours in the TSR-2 prototype XR219 .
The 22R had been designed for sustained (45 minutes) flight at Mach 2.2 [3] as the engine for the BAC TSR-2. The 591 was redesigned, being known as the 593, with specification finalised on 1 January 1964. [1] Bristol Siddeley of the UK and Snecma Moteurs of France were to share the project.
For example, in Generation 1 and Generation 2 HSDs maximum speed is mainly limited by the speed of the smaller electric motor (often functioning as a generator). The Generation 3 HSD separates the ICE-MG1 path from the MG2 path, each with its own, tailored gear ratio (1.1:1 and 2.5:1, respectively, for late Priuses, including the Prius c).
TSR-2 XR220 at RAF Museum Cosford, 2002. Ferranti developed the first terrain-following radar specifically for the TSR-2. Terrain-following radar (TFR) is a military aerospace technology that allows a very-low-flying aircraft to automatically maintain a relatively constant altitude above ground level and therefore make detection by enemy radar more difficult.
I'm currently working on Roland Beamont's article, and am currently intrigued to know which test pilot flew TSR-2 on its last flight on 31 March 1965. If you look at the table in this copy of Flight International) [ 1 ] it only lists the 23rd flight on 27 March 1965 piloted by Don Knight .
The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .
