==Variants== The Jupiter was produced in many variants, one of which was the Bristol Orion of 1926. [[Metallurgy]] problems with this turbo-supercharged engine caused the project to be abandoned after only nine engines had been built.<ref>Lumsden 2003, p.101.</ref> ;Brazil Straker (Cosmos) Jupiter I :(1918) {{convert|400|hp|kW|abbr=on}}; only two engines assembled. ;Cosmos Jupiter II :(1918) {{convert|400|hp|kW|abbr=on}}; a single engine assembled. ;Bristol Jupiter II :(1923) {{convert|400|hp|kW|abbr=on}}. ;Bristol Jupiter III :(1923) {{convert|400|hp|kW|abbr=on}}.
