V. ISTO brings unprecedented safety and serviceability t Latest military helicopter achieves new standards of performance; carries Bristol's extensive experience of power transmission into twin-rotor field. The Bristol 192 introduces significant advances in twin- rotor flight. Extremely efficient performance; completely reliable performance on one engine only; a markedly satis- factory power/weight ratio. It offers a high degree of serviceability. For Bristol's long experience of helicopters, particularly in the vital areas of power transmission and rotor-head design, has been embodied in the 192, to give reliability and ease of main- tenance beyond that of any competitor. • Answers stringent safety and / load requirements ' ' • - Ordered for the RAF, the 192 has been designed to meet military requirements, including the ability to lift 25 troops, or 6,000 lb distributed freight. :s Its two Napier Gazelle 1,300 slip "free turbine" engines, interconnected to keep rotor-phasing true and for single- engine safety, deliver sea-level power up to 6,000 ft, and provide ample power reserves for emergencies. In fact, with one engine driving both rotors, the 192 climbs at more than 1,200 ft/min, and can make a safe, fully controlled landing. The 192 cruises at 120 knots; has a maximum range of 400 miles. It hovers at 8,000 ft, without ground effect, reaching service ceiling at no less than 13,250 ft. Full production of the 192 began from the drawing- board, a policy made practicable by Bristol's unequalled experience, gained through the experimental 173 and the Sycamore.
