- Bristol Siddeley BS100
The
Bristol Siddeley BS100 was a two-spool,vectored thrust ,turbofan , similar in general arrangement to that of the Pegasus, but with the addition of Plenum Chamber Burning (PCB), to enable theP1154 VSTOL fighter to accelerate to supersonic speed.PCB is akin to reheat, but is only applied to the bypass stream, as the flow turns from fan exit to the nozzle bearing plane. Variable area front nozzles are required, to maintain consistent fan matching regardless of whether the PCB is alight or not.
