Rolls-Royce Olympus - Bristol Siddeley Olympus Vulcan
The Olympus was first run in 1950 reaching 10,000 lbf (44 kN) thrust and was flying in an English Electric Canberra testbed by 1953. Entering full production in 1955, the Olympus continued to be developed by Bristol Siddeley. The Olympus 201 entered service on the Avro Vulcan in 1956.
By modifications to the LP compressor (which included adding an extra LP stage) and the LP turbine, it was possible to increase the thrust from the 17,000 lbf (76 kN) of the Olympus 201 to 20,000 lbf (89 kN). The new engine was known as the Olympus 301 in service use. Due to the increased air mass, the Vulcan's air intakes had to be widened and, because of the extra compressor stage, the engines were larger and would not fit into the engine bays without extensive modifications
