21 OCTOBER I960 FLIGHT 11 LIFT and THRUST from ONE ENGINE the Revolutionary BS 53 Turbofan MR BY BRISTOL SIDDELEY The new Bristol Siddeley BS 53 high-ratio turbofan represents a major engineering breakthrough in the field of aircraft propulsion. Because the BS 53 can be fitted with movable nozzles evenly disposed around the centre of gravity which give directional control to its total thrust, this remarkably versatile engine provides the airframe designer with a single power source for all conditions of flight. VTOL, STOL and normal take-off capability in the same aircraft. Suitable for subsonic or supersonic applications. High cold-flow ratio gives high thrust for low weight, low fuel consumption and low noise level. Conventional installation. Operational simplicity. Inde- pendent of all fixed ground installations. Problems of ground erosion, recirculation and ingestion of debris reduced to a minimum. The Bristol Siddeley BS 53 has already been selected for the Hawker P 1127 VTOL light strike fighter and is supported by the Mutual Weapons Development Pro- gramme for NATO.
