Power for the Concord: An Outline Description of the Bristol Siddeley/S.N.E.C.M.A. Olympus 593 Turbojet which powers the British Aircraft Corporation/Sud‐Aviation Concord Supersonic Airliner

Abstract

THE power plant for the Concord supersonic transport has evolved from an optimization study which showed that a medium‐pressure ratio turbojet would be the best compromise for a transatlantic M=2•2 civil aircraft. The detail design of the engine intake and nozzle systems is currently proceeding in the Design Offices of British Aircraft Corporation and Bristol Siddeley Engines in England and S.N.E.C.M.A. in France.
