Originally designed late in [[World War I]] and known as the '''Cosmos Jupiter''', a lengthy series of upgrades and developments turned it into one of the finest engines of its era. The Jupiter was widely used on many aircraft designs during the 1920s and 1930s. Thousands of Jupiters of all versions were produced, both by Bristol and abroad under licence. A [[Turbocharger|turbo-supercharged]] version of the Jupiter known as the '''Orion''' suffered development problems and only a small number were produced. The "Orion" name was later [[Bristol Orion|re-used]] by Bristol for an unrelated [[turboprop]] engine. The Bristol Jupiter was licensed by the Soviet Union as the Shvetsov M-22. ==Design and development== The Jupiter was designed during [[World War I]] by [[Roy Fedden]] of [[Straker-Squire|Brazil Straker]] and later [[Cosmos Engineering]]. The first Jupiter was completed by Brazil Straker in 1918 and featured three carburettors, each one feeding three of the engine's nine cylinders via a spiral deflector housed inside the induction chamber.<ref>''Flight'' 9 March 1939, pp.236-237</ref> During the rapid downscaling of military spending after the war, Cosmos Engineering became [[bankrupt]] in 1920, and was eventually purchased by the [[Bristol Aeroplane Company]] on the strengths of the Jupiter design and the encouragement of the [[Air Ministry]].<ref>Gunston 1989, p.44.</ref> The engine matured into one of the most reliable on the market. It was the first air-cooled engine to pass the Air Ministry full-throttle test, the first to be equipped with automatic boost control, and the first to be fitted to airliners.<ref>Gunston 1989, p.31.</ref> The Jupiter was fairly standard in design, but featured four valves per cylinder, which was uncommon at the time. The [[Cylinder (engine)|cylinders]] were machined from steel forgings, and the cast [[cylinder head]]s were later replaced with aluminium alloy following studies by the [[Royal Aircraft Establishment]]. In 1927, a change was made to move to a forged head design due to the rejection rate of the castings. The Jupiter VII introduced a mechanically-driven supercharger to the design, and the Jupiter VIII was the first to be fitted with reduction gears.<ref>Bridgman (Jane's) 1998, p.270.</ref> In 1925, Fedden started designing a replacement for the Jupiter. Using a shorter stroke to increase the [[revolutions per minute]] (rpm), and including a [[supercharger]] for added power, resulted in the [[Bristol Mercury]] of 1927. Applying the same techniques to the original Jupiter-sized engine in 1927 resulted in the [[Bristol Pegasus]]. Neither engine would fully replace the Jupiter for a few years. In 1926 a Jupiter-engined [[Bristol Type 84 Bloodhound|Bristol Bloodhound]] with the [[aircraft registration|registration]] G-EBGG completed an endurance flight of {{convert|25,074|mi|km|abbr=off}}, during which the Jupiter ran for a total of 225 hours and 54 minutes without part failure or replacement.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1926/1926%20-%200183.html |title=1926 {{!}} 0183 {{!}} Flight Archive |website=www.flightglobal.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019142218/http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1926/1926%20-%200183.html |archive-date=2012-10-19}} </ref> ===Licensed production=== The Jupiter saw widespread use in licensed versions, with fourteen countries eventually producing the engine. In France, [[Gnome-Rhone]] produced a version known as the Gnome-Rhône 9 Jupiter that was used in several local civilian designs, as well as achieving some export success. [[Siemens-Halske]] took out a licence in Germany and produced several versions of increasing power, eventually resulting in the [[Bramo 323]] Fafnir, which saw use in German wartime aircraft.<ref>Gunston 1989, p.29.</ref> In Japan, the Jupiter was licence-built from 1924 by [[Nakajima Aircraft Company|Nakajima]], forming the basis of its own subsequent radial aero-engine design, the [[Nakajima Kotobuki|Nakajima Ha-1 Kotobuki]].<ref>Gunston 1989, p.104.</ref> It was produced in Poland as the PZL Bristol Jupiter, in Italy as the [[Alfa Romeo 125|Alfa Romeo 126-RC35]],<ref name="aroca-qld.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.aroca-qld.com/library_articles/alfa_romeo_aero_engines.php |title=Alfa Aero Engines |access-date=25 August 2007 |work=aroca-qld.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008150746/http://www.aroca-qld.com/library_articles/alfa_romeo_aero_engines.php |archive-date=8 October 2007 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> and in [[Czechoslovakia]] by [[Walter Engines]]. The most produced version was in the [[Soviet Union]], where its [[Shvetsov]] M-22 version powered the initial Type 4 version of the [[Polikarpov I-16]] (55 units produced). Type 4 Polikarpovs can be identified by their lack of exhaust stubs, rounded NACA cowling and lack of cowling shutters, features which were introduced on the [[Shvetsov M-25]] powered Type 5 and later variants (total production 4,500+ units).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Modeling/Polikarpov/I-16/Kit_Comparison/description.php|title = Modeling the VVS: I-16 Development}}</ref><ref>Gunston 1989, p.158.</ref> Production started in 1918 and ceased in 1930. ==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}}.

Other civilian uses included the [[de Havilland Giant Moth]] and [[de Havilland Hercules]], the [[Junkers G 31]] and the huge [[Dornier Do X]] flying boat, which used no less than twelve engines. Military uses were less common, but included the parent company's [[Bristol Bulldog]], as well as the [[Gloster Gamecock]] and [[Boulton Paul Sidestrand]]. It was also found in prototypes around the world, from Japan to Sweden. By 1929 the Bristol Jupiter had flown in 262 different aircraft types,<ref>{{cite web|title=The Bristol Jupiter Aircraft
