Talk:Orenda Engines

Introduction?

For the uninitiated, could someone add an introductory paragraph explaining what the Orenda or the Orenda Engine is? Please! <KF> 20:25, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

The entirety of this article had been cut-n-pasted from the Magellan web page. I have re-written it completely. Comments on the current structure greatfully accepted. Maury 18:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Most powerful jet statement. De Havilland Gyron is quoted in its article with a (little) higher rating - does anyone known of a definitive source? GraemeLeggett 16:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I've been wondering about this myself, considering I wrote that article too. Additionally, why wasn't the Gyron considered for the Arrow, considering it matched the requirements pretty much spot-on, being developed for basically the identical role. Maury 21:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, it seems the numbers in the Gyron article are too high. The placard on the de Havilland sample says it was 15,000 lbf, so the PS.13 would be somewhat more powerful. Maury (talk) 13:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

15,000lb was the initial design rating of the Gyron. Within a year of its first run it was developing 20,000lb dry.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.31.130.71 (talk) 11:05, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Orendalogo.jpg

Image:Orendalogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

So what was the company name of the Orenda? Chinook?

I'd like to start articles on the Chinook and Orenda, but I'm at a loss as to what they would be called. Turbo Research Chinook? Orenda Orenda? I certainly don't like Avro Chinook, nor am I a big fan of Orenda engine. Thoughts? Maury (talk) 13:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Correct terminology: Avro Orenda Chinook, Avro Orenda (engine). FWIW, going to the Avro Aircraft reunion in March at Downsview? Bzuk (talk) 14:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC).

Well I guess I am now! I'm going skiing at some point, so I'll try to book around it. Maury (talk) 18:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear all,

I am wondering if it would make sense to add some technical data of the Orenda-engines to this article, ideally a table, covering the various types of engines.

Does anybody feel qualified enough to do that?

I am confused about the timeline

I worked at the plant in Mississauga in the mid-1980s and it still bore the name Orenda, although it easily could have been run by a different holding company. This article says that Magellan Aerospace took over in the 1980s but when you go to Magellan's main article says it was founded in 1996. In the 1980s a Magellan Repair company seems to have taken over Orenda Engines. Maybe there are blanks to fill in? -- DeweyQ (talk) 20:18, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
