Rolls-Royce RB168 MK807 | Blackburn Nimbus


Rolls-Royce RB168 MK807
Blackburn Nimbus

 The Nimbus was developed from the A129 turbo-shaft which, in its turn, was a modified Turbomeca Artouste built under licence. The Nimbus developed 968 hp, but for helicopter use was flat-rated at 710 hp. The engine was used in Westland Wasp and Scout helicopters and four 700 hp units were used to power the experimental 5RN-2 hovercraft.
