1950s British aircraft rocket engine
Design and development
Work on the Screamer started in 1946, with the first static test at Armstrong Siddeley's rocket plant at Ansty in March 1954.[4] The programme was cancelled, as was the Avro 720, before flight testing.[5]
In 1951, a Gloster Meteor F.8 was experimentally fitted with a Screamer mounted below the fuselage.[1][6]
The Screamer project was cancelled in March 1956, at a reported total cost of £650,000.[7]

L’Armstrong Siddeley Screamer était un petit moteur-fusée à ergols liquides britannique, conçu au cours des années 1950 par le constructeur Armstrong Siddeley. Ce moteur aurait dû propulser l'intercepteur piloté Avro 720 (en), proposition faite par Avro Aircraft Ltd. pour concurrencer le Saunders-Roe SR.53 dans le domaine des avions intercepteurs à moteur-fusée.
