C

This article has been rated as C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
Referencing and citation: criterion not met Coverage and accuracy: criterion not met Structure: criterion met Grammar and style: criterion met Supporting materials: criterion met

This article is supported by the aircraft engine task force.

The article notes "Originally known as the AJ.65 for Axial Jet, 6,500 lbf which was designed by Alan Arnold Griffith". This statement seems unclear to me. It could be read that AA Griffith designed the axial-flow design, which is at least arguably true. But it could also be read that it means that AA Griffith actually designed the AJ.65, which I find somewhat more difficult to believe. Would the author of this statement clarify, and perhaps cite?

starter

I've read that Canberras fitted with this engine were started with a cartridge, and also read on Coffman_engine_starter about Avons starting with a cartridge. Can someone who knows add a definitive bit about this to the article? Sangwine (talk) 20:43, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

canular != can-annular?

The article says: "Early Marks had 8 canular combustion chambers where as later Marks had can-annular." but I thought canular == can-annular. I guess the former might be just "can" type. Or? --marsian 13:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Variants section

Needs a variants section if anyone has the reference sources. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 16:14, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
