ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY TIGER
The Armstrong Siddeley 'Tiger' was a 14-cylinder air cooled radial engine of the 1930-40's. It started life as the Armstong Siddeley Jaguar Major but was renamed as the Tiger. The engine was built in a number of different versions but performance and dimensions stayed relatively unchanged. It powered a number of early World War II British aircarft such as the Blackburn Shark and the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley. At best the Tiger was a transitional type being superseded by competing engines from Rolls-Royce, Bristol, Pratt & Whitney, and Wright.
