The Sud-Ouest Aviation (SNCASO) S.O. 4050 Vautour II (French for vulture) was a French jet-powered bomber, interceptor, and attack aircraft developed and manufactured by aircraft company Sud Aviation.

The Rolls-Royce Vulture was a British aero engine developed shortly before World War II that was designed and built by Rolls-Royce Limited. The Vulture used the unusual "X-24" configuration, whereby four cylinder blocks derived from the Rolls-Royce Peregrine were joined by a common crankshaft supported by a single crankcase.

Rolls-Royce's Vulture was an X-24 aircraft engine of the World War II era. Originally designed to produce around 1,750 hp, continuing problems with both the Vulture and the underlying Peregrine meant the Vulture was de-rated to around 1,450-1,550 hp in service.

Jan 5, 2021 · The Rolls-Royce Vulture X-24 was an attempt to create a 2,000 hp (1,491 kW) aircraft engine. A number of difficulties arose that complicated the engine’s development, leaving history to record the Vulture as a failure.

The only aircraft types designed for the Vulture to actually go into production were the twin-engined Avro Manchester and the Hawker Tornado. Although several new aircraft designs had been planned to use the Vulture, work on the engine's design ended in 1941 as Rolls concentrated on their more successful Merlin engine.

The Sud Aviation S.O. 4050 Vautour II was a French twin-engine fighter-bomber used during the Cold War. The Vautour (Vulture) was designed in response to a 1951 requirement set by the French Air Force for a multipurpose attack aircraft.

During 1918 Vickers designed a light amphibian with biplane wings and tail unit, its Consuta plywood hull being built by the company's S. E. Saunders subsidiary and incorporating an enclosed cabin seating four passengers. Its powerplant, a 205kW Rolls-Royce Falcon, was strut-mounted below the upper wing to drive a pusher propeller.
