FLIGHT International, 3 September 1964 Right, Rolls-Royce technicians at Hawker Siddeley Dynamics examining the pair of RZ.2 rocket engines which propel the Blue Streak space booster. Each engine is rated at 137,0001b thrust, and examples have been extensively tested at 150,0001b Below, two of the four 5,730 e.h.p. Rolls-Royce Tyne 101 turboprops which power the Short Belfast C. I freighter. These efficient engines have independent low-pressure and high-pressure rotating assemblies, the h-p turbine having cooled blades. The Hawker Siddeley Dynamics propellers are lift in diameter 397 BRITAIN'S AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY 1964 . .. Contributing to the outstanding economy of the BAC One-Eleven short-haul airliner, the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan is rated at from 9,850 to 11,4001b thrust in civil versions. A more powerful military version is in production for the Buccaneer, and a super- sonic reheat version will be fitted to the Royal Navy's Phantom strike fighter Pictured here in production for the French Mirage Ill-V strike fighter, the Rolls-Royce RB.I62 is a special lift unit for V/STOL air- craft being evolved in collaboration with France and Germany. Extensive use of glass-fibre, and other materials unusual in aero engines, enables a thrust/weight ratio of 16 : I to be achieved. Thrust of this engine is initially 4,4001b, rising to more than 5,0001b in later versions
