Historical Note

The De Havilland Goblin holds a distinguished place in aviation history as one of Britain's pioneering turbojet engines and the powerplant that launched the jet age for both military and civil aviation. Designed by Frank Halford and his team at De Havilland Engine Company (later Bristol Siddeley, then Rolls-Royce), the Goblin first ran in April 1942 as the H.1, making it one of the earliest British jet engines alongside Frank Whittle's designs.

The Goblin featured a single-stage centrifugal compressor design that proved simpler and more reliable than early axial-flow engines, producing 3,000 lbf thrust in its initial form. Its most famous application came in September 1946 when it powered the De Havilland Vampire, Britain's second operational jet fighter, which became one of the most successful early jets with over 3,200 aircraft produced.

Beyond military service, the Goblin achieved a remarkable milestone in civil aviation history. On July 27, 1949, a Goblin-powered De Havilland Vampire became the first jet aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean, flying from Britain to Canada. The engine also powered the De Havilland Venom fighter-bomber and various experimental aircraft during the critical 1940s-1950s period when jet propulsion was rapidly evolving.

Developed through several marks from the Goblin 1 to the Goblin 3 (producing up to 3,500 lbf), the engine demonstrated exceptional reliability and ease of maintenance. Its centrifugal design, while eventually superseded by more efficient axial-flow engines, provided the dependable foundation that helped establish jet aviation as practical and viable. The Goblin's legacy lives on as a cornerstone of British aerospace engineering during the transformative post-war era.
