In addition to this engine, the Pegasus engine of the Harrier aircraft used in the British Navy was actually developed from the Orphein series engine. It can be said that although the Bristol engine is not as prominent as Rolls and Rolls, it was considered quite NB in ​​the early days of the jet age!

The third company is De Havilland. In the Jet Age, it began to create the Little Fairy and Ghost Engines, which were mainly used on the De Havilland's own planes, such as the vampire fighter and the seafox. The industry exported to Sweden, which is not as useful as Rolls-Royce's Neon, but it is also a pretty good engine.

As for the fourth company, Armstrong Sidley, this company has done mid-selling and small-selling, which is incomparable to the previous companies, but it is also a senior who struggled in the aviation industry back then.

However, all the glory of this ended in the 1960s! Armstrong Sidley went bankrupt in 1960, De Havilland went bankrupt in 1961, Bristol went bankrupt in 1966, and Rollsell almost went bankrupt in 1973...

What is the reason for this? The glory of the British Empire is not one aspect, but the turbulence of national policies is also to blame! Here we will mention two tragic things the British government has done.

The first thing happened in 1957. In the defense white paper that year, it stated that manned aircraft would be replaced by missiles, so the plan for the development of manned aircraft in the future was stopped. Therefore, the lightning aircraft, which was tested in 1958, became a masterpiece in the history of normal take-off and landing fighter jets in Britain! Then in 1960 and 1961, the two engine companies were finished.

The second thing happened in 1964. After the Labor Party came to power, it cut off a large number of aircraft R&D projects under the pretext of social welfare, such as the famous Tsr2 and P1154 plan aircraft. After this knife, the one who was directly cheated was the Bristol Company, Madan. They had already created the Bristol BS100 engine! It was specially prepared for the P1154 plan. You told me that the plan was cancelled? What should I do if this investment was done? Then, in 1966, the Bristol Engine Company suddenly...

If it weren't for the last conscience of the British political circle, the Conservatives nationalized Rolls-Royce and saved the last single seedling in the British engine industry, I'm afraid the British aviation industry is really overthrown! Of course, the European aviation industry may also be overthrown!

In addition to these two doomsday government policies, the British aviation industry also has many problems on aircraft, and the British government is also responsible for the blame, such as the famous British 3V bombers, Warriors, Victory, and Vulcans. Looking at the performance and data, this TM is completely a bomber of the same level! At the same time, the US imperialists only created a B47, and the Russians created a Tu16! Are you a British short of money? You also created three bombers with similar functions. Are you funny? Even though the British government can find a series of excuses, the clearing party will clear itself, and the cleansing party will not say...

As for the fighter field, it is not much for self-use, which is understandable, but you takeout! The UK is sunset, so we can understand this. Don’t be with the United States and Russia. Let’s compare with France! The French’s aviation industry was several streets worse than the British at the beginning! As a result, let’s see how they did it later? The total production of the Phantom 3 and 5 series is more than 1,400 aircraft! And the final production of the Phantom 2000, as a third-generation aircraft, exceeded 600 aircraft! How many of the last Blitz fighter in the British were produced? But 337 aircraft! Alas, I won’t say anything. I’m full of tears.
