[1] So which of these are aero-engines and notable and where do they fit: Cherub, Draco, Gamma (a rocket), Janus (its got compressors) Lucifer, Neptune, Oredon, Phoebus, Raven, Saturn, spartan, Stentor, Ttitan and Zeus? GraemeLeggett 14:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Off the top of my head, Gamma is the rocket from Black Knight and Stentor is from Blue Steel. I'll look into the others. Emoscopes ^Talk 14:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cherub is an aero-engine, it's on German WP [2]
Draco is an aero-engine, on WP.de also [3]
Janus was a study for a turboprop [4]
Lucifer (B.1066) was a 3-cylinder radial aero-engine of 1919 [5]
Neptune - nothing immediately obvious on google
Oredon - a turboshaft for use in a Nord tilting-duct VTOL contraption. A collaboration with Turbomeca. [6] [7]
Phoebus - some sort of attempt at bodging a Proteus into a turbojet [8]
Raven - rocket motor used in sounding rockets [9] (note - some Bristol derived solid-fuel rockets seem to be named after birds, there's a Blackcap on the VL Seawolf and a Gosling on the Sea Slug and Bloodhound and also a Cuckoo. Others are named after dogs, e.g Chow on the Sea Dart and Retriever / Deerhoun on Sea Slug Mk.II)
Saturn - a small turbojet, was to be used in the Folland Gnat, cancelled [10]
Spartan - liquid propellant rocket for JATO / missile use [11]
Titan - 5-cyliner radial aero engine, mentioned here
Zeus - 2-spool turbojet design for Avro 726 interceptor [12]

From that, I'd say the only notable engines we should add are Cherub, Draco (translate these from German WP?), Lucifer and Titan. Emoscopes ^Talk 14:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, found Gnome Titan [[13]] for the ANT-9 no sign of the latter on en-wiki —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GraemeLeggett (talk • contribs) 14:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC). Forgot to signGraemeLeggett 14:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and add Stentor and Gamma, both important, notable and nifty pieces of aero-engineering. Emoscopes ^Talk 14:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
