| Fonctions : | Orenda engines was a Canadian manufactured that specialized in aircraft engines. They produced much of the military jet engines from 1950's through the 1970's for Avro Canada and were Canada's primary engine supplier and repair Company. The company's foundation stems back to the Second World War where the National Research Council of Canada ran a small aero dynamics effort. In March 1944, the government formed Turbo Research as a crown corporation. The company was formally incorporated on July 1st, 1944 in Leaside, now a part of Downtown Toronto. During this time former Victory Aircraft plants in Malton were being changed into the new A.V Roe Canada (Avro Canada) plants. In 1946, the government turned all engine development over to a private industry and sold Turbo research to Avro. Paul Dillworth was the chief engineered of the new company named Gas Turbine Division, which was moved to Avro's plant which is near Toronto Pearson International Airport. |
