Dennis Falcon
The Dennis Falcon was a rear-engined bus chassis manufactured by Dennis between 1981 and 1993. It was mostly built as a single-deck bus, although some express coaches and a small number of double-deckers were also produced. The total number built was 139, plus one development chassis.〔(Dennis Falcon ) Bus Fleet Lists on the Web〕
==Design==
The Falcon was closely derived from the Dennis Dominator, the front half of the chassis being identical. The original horizontal-engined Falcon H had a layout recalling that of the Bristol RE with the longitudinally-mounted Gardner engine driving forward above the Dennis-built portal rear axle to a Voith gearbox and reversing unit which then took drive rearward into the driving-head of the axle.〔(Falcon swoops ) ''Commercial Motor'' 27 September 1980〕 The later Falcon HC had a more orthodox continuous driveline, resembling that of the Seddon Pennine RU, the C (for continuous drive) denoted the Voith transmission close-coupled to the Gardner engine with a short propeller shaft taking drive into a straight Kirkstall spiral-bevel double-reduction rear axle. For these types the frame was raised aft of the rear axle to provide clearance for the under-slung engine.
The Falcon V, with Daimler-Benz V6 engines in the double decks and Perkins V8 engines in the coaches, was even closer in frame-concept to the Dominator.
