1. de Havilland Ghost 48 Marker
Das de Havilland Ghost war ein britisches Strahltriebwerk der ersten Generation. Es beruhte auf dem kleineren de Havilland Goblin. Es handelte sich um ein Einwellentriebwerk mit einem einstufigen Radialverdichter. Als Brennkammern kamen zehn Rohrbrennkammern zum Einsatz. Die Axialturbine war einstufig. Die Entwicklung begann 1943, als erste Vorentwürfe für die De Havilland DH.106 Comet zeigten, dass das Goblin für ein solches Flugzeug zu leistungsschwach war.
Die ersten Triebwerkstests begannen 1944. 1945 wurde das Triebwerk erstmals im Flug in einer umgebauten Avro Lancastrian erprobt. Es gab Kontakte nach Schweden, und so konnte eine Lizenzfertigung bei Volvo Aero eingerichtet werden. Dort wurden die Triebwerke für die Saab 29 gefertigt. Sie trugen die schwedische Bezeichnung Rm2.
Schub: 21,6 kN

The first engine tests began in 1944. In 1945, the engine was flight tested for the first time in a converted Avro Lancastrian. There were contacts to Sweden, and so a licence production could be established at Volvo Aero. There the engines for the Saab 29 were manufactured. They bore the Swedish designation Rm2.

The de Havilland Ghost (originally Halford H-2) was the de Havilland Engine Company's second design of a turbojet engine to enter production and the world's first gas turbine engine to enter airline service (with BOAC). The Ghost powered the de Havilland Venom, de Havilland Comet and SAAB 29 Tunnan. It was a scaled-up development of the Goblin.(Submitted on November 6, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
