VIPER POWERS WORLD'S FIRST ALL-THROUGH JET TRAINER
THE HUNTING PROVOST
The decision of the Royal Air Force early in 1957 to pioneer 'all-through' jet
training was made possible mainly by one fact that there was in existence an
aircraft and an engine which exactly met their requirements for the job the
Hunting Jet Provost powered by the Armstrong Siddeley Viper A.S.V.8 at 1,750 lb.
thrust.
Apart from the logic of 'all-through' jet training for jet age pilots, economy
was an important factor in this new policy; and on this score the Viper's record
passed service scrutiny with flying colours. Here was an engine with a really
high utilization rate - reliable, robust and easily serviceable. Today, Jet
Provosts, powered by the Viper Mark 8, are now serving with the R.A.F.
their record under training conditions has been beyond reproach. The A.S.V. 12
version of this engine with the same configuration and weight gives 2,700 lb.
thrust.
