138a 500hp Altitude Bristol Charge Cooler Fitted Inter Pegasus Supercharger
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the mighty 500hp Bristol Pegasus PE6S engine, fitted to the sleek and innovative Bristol 138A high altitude aircraft. The PE6S engine, a powerhouse of aviation technology, is distinguished by its two-stage supercharger and inter-stage charge cooler. These advanced features were essential for the 138A's success in reaching unprecedented heights, making it a trailblazer in the realm of aviation. The supercharger, a mechanical device that compresses air and forces it into the engine for combustion, is a critical component for increasing the engine's power output at high altitudes where the air is thin. The inter-stage charge cooler, located between the two stages of the supercharger, cools the compressed air before it enters the engine cylinders. This cooling process prevents the engine from overheating and ensures optimal performance. The PE6S engine's impressive capabilities transformed the 138A into a formidable transport aircraft, capable of operating at extreme altitudes and temperatures. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the past, showcasing the beauty and power of aviation technology.
