The Viper is a British turbojet engine developed and produced by Armstrong Siddeley and then by its successor companies Bristol-Siddeley and Rolls-Royce Limited. It entered service in 1953 and remains in use with the Royal Air Force, powering its Dominie T1 navigation training aircraft.
The design originally featured a seven-stage compressor based on their Sapphire engine — the Viper is in effect a small scale Sapphire.
The Viper was developed as...
