Bristol B. E. 10 Olympus Mk. 101
Bristol B.E.10 Olympus Mk.101 (Ministry of Supply designation Bol.1/2C). A more powerful version of the Olympus with a larger turbine, delivering11, 000 lbf (49 kN) thrust for initial production Avro Vulcan B.1 aircraft. First flew in Avro Vulcan B.1 XA889 in February 1955. Curtiss-Wright of the Wright Aeronautical Corporation purchased a licence to build the Olympus as the Curtiss-Wright J67, to meet a USAF demand for an engine in the 15, 000 lbf (67 kN) thrust Class. The engine was the subject of a development contract, redesigned and designated J67. Development was protracted and in 1955, the USAF announced that there would be no production contract for the present J67. Several aircraft had been intended to receive the J67 including the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger. In a similar fashion to the J65 / T49, Curtiss-Wright developed a turboprop version of the J67 as the Curtiss-Wright T47, but halted development before any engines were produced. Date: 1955
