The Viper C201 Turbo Jet Engine was
originally from a Jindivik drone aircraft. The Jindivik
was used by the RAF to tow targets for 'fast Jet' target
practice. Later Jindivik drones used Jet Provost Viper
202 engines that were modified to Viper C201 engines.
Power output is about 3000lbs, making the C201 the most
powerful Viper in in its range.

Air start
fitting which directs the air on to the turbine wheel
at an enormous rate! This may be an issue, as the size
of the compressor required may make starting the viper
this way prohibitive.
