Page 74 - The Jet Engine

Rolls-Royce Gnome

The Ghost was designed as a larger and more
powerful version of the Goblin. After running
for the first time on 2 September 1945 the
engine was cleared for flight in the outer
nacelles of an Avro Lancastrian at 4000 lb
thrust. The Ghost later went into production at
De Havilland H2 Ghost 5000 lb thrust to power the de Havilland
Comet 1 airliner and Venom fighter.
