Design and Development
The Blackburn Cirrus Major started life as a development of the original ADC Cirrus series of aircraft engines which progressed through a number of variants, each with slightly different displacement and power outputs. The Cirrus series was later bought by Cirrus Aero-Engines (later known as the Cirrus-Hermes Engine Company) which produced the Cirrus Hermes I, II, III and IV, again each differing slightly in displacement and power.
In 1934 Cirrus was bought again by the Blackburn Aircraft company and later that year the Cirrus Minor was produced. In 1935 the Cirrus Major entered production.

“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
