With the same cylinder volume and using the new material, the horsepower per cylinder was raised from 110 hp (82 kW) to 220 hp (160 kW). 169:
large radial, making the Centaurus one of the largest aircraft piston engines to enter production, while that of the Hercules was 2,363 cu in (38.7 L). The nearly 40 per cent higher capacity was achieved by increasing the stroke from 6.5 to 7 inches (165 to 178 mm) and by changing

The 373 was the most powerful version of the Centaurus and was intended for the Blackburn Beverley transport aircraft. Using direct fuel injection, it achieved a remarkable 3,220 hp (2,400 kW), but was never fitted. A projected enlarged capacity version of the Centaurus was designed by Sir

Bristol maintained the Centaurus from type-testing in 1938, but production did not start until 1942, owing to the need to get the Hercules into production and improve the reliability of the entire engine line. Nor was there any real need for the larger engine at this early point in the war, when
