BS100
Encyclopedia : B : BS : BS1 : BS100
The Bristol Siddeley BS100 was a two spool, vectored thrust, turbofan, similar in general arrangement to that of the Rolls-Royce Pegasus, but with the addition of Plenum Chamber Burning (PCB), to enable the P1154 VSTOL fighter to accelerate to supersonic speed.
PCB is akin to reheat, but is only applied to the bypass stream, as the flow turns from fan exit to the nozzle bearing plane. Variable area front nozzles are required, to maintain consistent fan matching regardless of whether the PCB is alight or not.
