Airplane engine, Orenda PS-13 Iroquois 2 (Avro CF-105 Arrow)

In addition to a new aircraft, Avro Aircraft engineers determined that no engine currently in existence would be powerful enough to meet the Royal Canadian Air Force’s advanced specifications.

Sister company Orenda Engines stepped up to create a follow-up to the innovative engine they had designed and built for the CF-100, the Orenda.

The new engine was named the Iroquois, and it was capable of 12,000 kg (23 450 lb.) of thrust.
