FLIGHT International, 16 April 19a Flying Instructor Tough and reliable, the Bristol Siddeley Viper turbojet powers three different jet trainers-the Hunting Jet Provost, Macohi MB 326 and the Yugoslav Galeb. Between them, these three aircraft are being used to train the pilots of seven air forces and the Italian airline Alitalia. The Bristol Siddeley Viper has now been flying for more than eleven years. In addition to the tough proving ground of trainers, Viper engines have been chosen for a wide variety of applications ranging from experimen- tal aircraft to the new generation of executive jets — the Hawker Siddeley 125 and Piaggio/Douglas PD 808. The basic reason for the rugged reliability of the Bristol Siddeley Viper is the sheer simplicity of its design. This has also been a major factor in the rapid development of the engine from its original 1,575-lb to the present 3,115-lb thrust. Further development to even higher xatings is now being undertaken.
