110 FLIGHT International, 30 August 1962 V/STOL THIS EARLY EXAMPLE of vertical or short, take-oft was conceived by Alexander the Great around 330 BC. Alexander's idea was to tempt four harnessed gryphons into the air by placing food above the passenger cage. The project never passed the paper stage. Today, the V/STOL aircraft is a reality and Bristol Siddeley engines are playing a major role in its development. The wTorld's first V/STOL strike aircraft, the Hawker P 1127, making its first Farnborough Air Show appearance this year, is powered by the Pegasus vectored thrust I iirbo- fan, and this type of Bristol Siddeley powerplant has been specified for a range of new aircraft, including future transports. Today, in so many ways, BRISTOL SIDDELEY SUPPLY THE POWER. BRISTOL SIDDELEY ENGINES LIMITED AERO-ENGINE DIVISION: PO BOX 3. FILTON, BRISTOL, ENO .AND.
