'''Bristol Siddeley''' was a [[United Kingdom|British]] aero-engine manufacturer formed in 1959 from the merger of [[Bristol Aeroplane Company|Bristol Aero Engines]] and [[Armstrong Siddeley|Armstrong Siddeley Motors]].
In 1961 Bristol Siddeley acquired [[de Havilland]] Engines and [[Blackburn Aviation|Blackburn]] Engines. The aircraft side of Blackburn became part of [[Hawker Siddeley]]. Bristol Siddeley was taken over by [[Rolls-Royce Limited]] in 1966 (now [[Rolls-Royce plc]]).
==Engines==
Its [[Filton]] factory in North [[Bristol]] produced many high performance military aeroplane engines including the [[Rolls Royce Olympus|Olympus]] two spool turbojet (from which the engine for [[Concorde]] was developed), the [[Bristol Orpheus|Orpheus]] turbojet for the [[Folland Gnat]] light fighter/trainer aircraft, the [[Rolls-Royce Pegasus|Pegasus]] vectored thrust turbofan for the [[Hawker P.1127]]/Kestrel [[VSTOL]] fighter, the [[Bristol Proteus|Proteus]] turboprop for the [[Bristol Britannia]] airliner and the [[Armstrong Siddeley Viper|Viper]] turbojet for the [[BAe 125]]. Bristol Siddeley had under development another vectored thrust turbofan, the "plenum chamber burner" (similar to an afterburner) equipped [[Bristol Siddeley BS100|BS100]], which was intended for the supersonic [[P1154]] VSTOL fighter, but the project was cancelled in 1965.
