Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah

The Armstrong Siddeley Cheetah is a British air-cooled aircraft radial engine.

Development

The basic design of the Cheetah remained unchanged since its introduction in 1919. It was the first engine of its type to be certified for 1,200 hours of operational time between overhauls, with over 35,000 examples built.

The Cheetah was used to power many British trainer aircraft during World War II including the Avro Anson and Airspeed Oxford.
