Can you link the regulation then? As far as I'm aware of UK laws there is nothing preventing the export this engine.

  You'd have to go through it with a fine toothed comb and technical spec sheet on the engine, but the consolidated UK Strategic Export Control Lists. Dual Use List / Annex I, CATEGORY 9 – AEROSPACE AND PROPULSION https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1181396/uk-strategic-export-control-lists.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

    Why do you believe there is one, if you haven't done the 'fine toothed combing' yet?
    • ethbr1 3y ago
      Because supersonic jet engines are on the list. Never said I didn't do the combing.

        It's unclear what your reason is for believing there's an actual, specific, restriction, in force against these specific engines. If you haven't read many of these types of regulations before, a general category that matches means very little. So is there some reason why you believe there is one?

          Because the exclusions are written around civil air certification, of which there are many subsonic examples but few (any?) supersonic examples. Consequently, it's likely other clauses otherwise targeted to military-only powerplants might apply to the Olympus 593, despite being a civil certified engine, simply by virtue of also being supersonic.
