I have always wondered how the decision to name Rolls Royce piston engines after birds of prey and the turbine engines after rivers came about. Can anyone shed any light on this please?
Id never thought all the names where/are connected. Now you mention it i realise.

Many thanks one and all. I am considerably enlightened by that. I’m also briefly entertained by some of the feeble attempts at humour.

I know where the “Exe” goes (its generally accepted that it marks the spot!); however the Exe was a piston engine similiar to the Vulture, does this mean someone in Rolls-Royce had a sense of humour?

Birds of prey – no idea.
Rivers for turbines was supposed to show the idea of continous flow.
And the river RB-211 flows where ??? :diablo:
I’ll get my coat……………… 😀
