Metal Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek and powerful Bristol B.E.10 Olympus Mk.101 engine, a more advanced version of its predecessor, which first took flight in the Avro Vulcan B.1 XA889 in February 1955. With a larger turbine, the Olympus delivered an impressive 11,000 lbf (49 kN) of thrust for initial production Avro Vulcan B.1 aircraft. The engine's potential did not go unnoticed, as the Curtiss-Wright Corporation of the Wright Aeronautical Corporation purchased a license to build the Olympus as the Curtiss-Wright J67. This was in response to a United States Air Force (USAF) demand for an engine in the 15,000 lbf (67 kN) thrust class. However, the development of the J67 was protracted, and in 1955, the USAF announced that there would be no production contract for the present J67. Despite this setback, Curtiss-Wright pressed on, developing a turboprop version of the J67 as the Curtiss-Wright T47. Unfortunately, development was halted before any engines were produced. The Olympus engine was a significant development in aviation technology, with its powerful and efficient design paving the way for future advancements in jet engine technology. This image provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the innovation and determination of engineers during the post-World War II era as they pushed the boundaries of what was possible in aviation.
