A Description of the Development of the Bristol Siddeley Pegasus and Plenum Chamber Burning for the BS.100 and an Outline of the Performance of a V/S.T.O.L Subsonic Strike Fighter Utilizing a Vectored Thrust Engine with PCB as Compared with a Composite Power Plant Fighter and a Vectored Thrust Type without PCB. The Bristol Siddeley Pegasus vectored-thrust turbo-Tan has now been in operation for six years, and during that time has been developed to a fully operational stan-dard in the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel V/S.T.O.L. sub-sonic strike fighter. Initial development of a second-generation V/ S.T.O.L. strike fighter for supersonic flight necessitated thrust augmentation by combustion in the normally cold by-pass flow. This gave rise to the design and development of a suitable combustion system, now known as ‘Plenum Chamber Burning’, or ‘PCB’. This paper summarizes the satisfactory development of the Pegasus vectored-thrust turbofan, gives some description of the PCB system development, and shows how the application of this system to a V/S.T.O.L. subsonic strike fighter vectored-thrust power plant gives the latter considerable superiority when compared with an equivalent composite power plant configuration.
