Talk:Bristol 188

Not sure
Not sure about the statement "The fate of all but one aircraft was obvious" as it was not obvious to me ! perhaps this needs changing. Does anybody know what happened to XF923? MilborneOne 23:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I guess it was scrapped. The text should be clearer, if this indeed was what happened. The only other possibility is that it crashed, which I don't think is the case. Graham 03:09, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Type 188 Engines
Although the article is correct in stating that DH Gyron Juniors powered the T188, the further reference to that aiding the developemnt of the "de Havilland Olympus" is erroneous. The Olympus was developed by Bristol Engines which later became Bristol Siddeley and eventually Rolls Royce.

Several problems
"Bristol 188 was far in advance of its time."

Uhh, like minus two years? The Bell X-2 was flying in 1956 and explored the same speed range and problems.

The text states that one aircraft got the Avon, one the Gyron, and one the AJ.65. The AJ.65 is the Avon.

And how is it that the selection of the de Haviland engine gave them a boost for the selection of a Bristol engine on the Concorde?

Rewrite in order...
