Bristol Theseus

Bristol Theseus

The Theseus was the Bristol Aeroplane Company's first attempt at a gas-turbine engine design, a turboprop that delivered just over 2,000 hp (1,500 kW). A novel feature was the use of a heat exchanger to transfer waste heat from the exhaust to the compressor exit.The engine was soon superseded by the Proteus design with more power, and the only use of the engine was in two Handley Page Hermes 5 development aircraft.
