The Rolls-Royce Olympus, formerly the Bristol Olympus is a high-powered axial-flow turbojet aircraft engine, originally developed and produced by Bristol Aero Engines in 1950 (hence the name from Greek mythology, a long time tradition of the company), then by Bristol Siddeley after merger, and finally under Rolls-Royce on their takeover of BS in 1966. The original design was used as the powerplant for the Avro Vulcan V Bomber. It was later developed for sustained supersonic performance as part of the BAC TSR-2 program, and when this was cancelled was used as the powerplant for Concorde. The engine is still in production for industrial and naval power. Curtiss-Wright in the USA built a licensed version as the J67.
