The Rolls-Royce Falcon was an aero-engine developed in 1915. It was a smaller version of the Rolls-Royce Eagle; a liquid cooled V-12 of 14.2 litre capacity. Production began in September 1916 and was so successful that it continued until 1927, 2185 being built. The Falcon was notably used in the Bristol F.2 Fighter.
