Rolls-Royce Exe : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rolls-Royce Exe
The Rolls-Royce Exe, or Boreas,〔This name was dropped due to conflict with the Bristol Aeroplane Company's series of Greek mythology named engines, Lumsden 2003, p.201.〕 was a 24-cylinder air-cooled X block sleeve valve aircraft engine intended primarily for the new Fairey Fleet Air Arm aircraft, particularly the Fairey Barracuda. The Exe was under development in 1939, having been started in the 1930s, along with the Peregrine and Vulture. The Exe was named after the River Exe, although Rolls-Royce later transferred the use of river names to its gas turbine engines. Work on the Exe was suspended in August 1939,〔Lloyd 1978, p4-5.〕 and stopped about August 1940.〔Pugh 2000, p.263-265.〕 In August 1940 Ernest Hives, head of the Rolls-Royce aero engine division, wanted to stop work on the Exe, Peregrine and Vulture to concentrate on the Merlin and Griffon engines. ==Applications== Originally intended for the Supermarine Type 322 and Fairey Barracuda the Exe was only test flown in a Fairey Battle, the first flight taking place on 30 November 1938. This aircraft continued in use for some time as a communications aircraft where the Exe was noted to be quite reliable in service.〔Rubbra 1990, p.148.〕
