	[1.0] Vampire Variants
		Initial flight of the first prototype was on 20 September 1943, with Geoffrey de Havilland JR, company chief test pilot and son of the founder, at the controls.
		De Havilland had developed this technology and put it to good use with the company's Mosquito and Hornet aircraft.
		After the end of the war, the studies focused on a tailless airliner with four de Havilland Ghost turbojets (an improved follow-on to the Goblin, discussed in a later chapter) that was given the company designation of "DH.108".

	De Havilland Comet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		That Geoffrey de Havilland, head of the de Havilland company, was on the committee and de Havilland were working on jet fighters for the RAF was not unrelated.
		At the controls was de Havilland test pilot, John Cunningham, the same man who set a new altitude record two years later in a de Havilland DH 100 Vampire.
		The design was similar to other airliners except that four of the new, albeit underpowered, de Havilland Ghost 50 Mk1 turbojets were mounted within the wings, in pairs close to the fuselage; this was thought to prove the aircraft more aerodynamic when flying at high speeds.

	De Havilland Aircraft Company
		Geoffrey de Havilland, born in 1882, was in his late twenties in 1909.
		De Havilland proceeded to build an engine, while Frank Hearle, the brother of his fiancée, helped to construct the aircraft.
		De Havilland used the same construction in an early four-engine airliner, the Albatross, which flew in 1937.

	Comet Airliner
		De Havilland conducted ‘many tests’ to ensure structural integrity of the cabin.
		The fatigue crack was associated with the stress concentrations of the rather square rear ADF window cutout (stress of 315 MPa at edge of window), and with a bolt hole around the window (although the stress at the bolt position was only 70 MPa).
		The Chief Designer at De Havilland had wanted to glue the windows in position, but the tooling for the square shape was too difficult to make.

	DE HAVILLAND COMET
		The world's first jet-powered commercial airliner, the de Havilland Comet, began regular service on May 2, 1952 for British Overseas Airways Corporation and immediately established a new standard of speed and comfort in air travel.
		And because the engines were mounted within the wings, rather than being suspended beneath the wings or attached to the fuselage just in front of the tail assembly as in later jetliners, the Comet had exceptionally clean lines.
		De Havilland reinforced its existing Comets and, in 1958, introduced the all-new Comet 4 with a much stronger airframe.

	The SAAB 29 Tunnan
		By the fall of 1945, they were able to get their hands on the British de Havilland Goblin centrifugal-flow turbojet engine, quickly arranging to manufacture it under license.
		SAAB engineers worked with their de Havilland counterparts and determined that the Ghost could be fit into the new fighter design.
		The last variant of the Tunnan was the "J 29F", which featured the afterburning Ghost engine that had been evaluated on the single J 29D and the dogtooth wing developed for the J 29E.

	De Havilland Venom FB.1 Review by Brett Green (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		The de Havilland Venom bears a strong family resemblance to its immediate predecessor, the Vampire, but it was in fact a substantially new aircraft.
		It was logical that Classic Airframes should add the de Havilland Venom to its growing family of post-war British fighters.
		I have carefully compared the kit to new drawings prepared recently by John Adams for the entire de Havilland Venom and Aquilon family, and I am pleased to report that the kit matches almost perfectly in terms of profile, outline and main structural features.

		The first purpose-built jet airliner was the de Havilland Comet which first flew in 1949 and entered service in 1952.
		The de Havilland and Tupolev designs had engines incorporated within the wings next to the fuselage, a concept that endured only within military designs while the graceful Caravelle pioneered engines mounted either side of the rear fuselage.
		In the 1960s, when jet airliners were powered by slim, low-bypass engines, many aircraft used the rear-engined configuration, such as the Boeing 727, Boeing 737, Douglas DC-9, BAC One-Eleven, Hawker Siddeley Trident, Ilyushin Il-62 and Vickers VC-10.

	PBS - Chasing the Sun - DeHavilland Comet
		When the first de Havilland Comet took off from London for Johannesburg on May 2, 1952, it seemed as if Britain had produced a nearly insurmountable lead in aircraft development.
		Although American planes such as the Lockheed Constellation, the Douglas Aircraft DC-6 and the Boeing Stratocruiser were in wide use, these planes were powered by piston engines.
		Pan Am and other airlines were soon beating a path to de Havilland's door to order Comets.

	Promotex Online - De Havilland's Comet: The original jetliner
		There were already a number of military jet aircraft, including heavy bombers, being designed and de Havilland saw an opportunity to combine jets and passenger aircraft to create a new, faster jetliner and gain a vitally needed source of foreign sales.
		Sir Geoffrey de Havilland was one of the leaders of the British aircraft industry.
		Bishop had been working with de Havilland since 1921, when he was just eighteen, and led the development the famous Mosquito bomber of World War II.

	Venom
		The Venom was developed by de Havilland Aircraft from their earlier Vampire, which had been the second type of jet fighter to enter service with the RAF.
		A new design (although resembling the Vampire), the single seat fighter was powered by the new de Havilland Ghost engine, had a new wing with sweep back on the leading edge, and tip tanks fitted as standard.
		De Havilland developed a two seat night fighter version - the NF.2, having a widened fuselage to accommodate a radar operator who operated the nose mounted AI radar.

	Welcome to speedbird1501 -- Part of the Merry group
		The De Havilland Comet was the first jet powered airliner to fly and enter service.
		It was powered by four De Havilland Ghost jet engines which were embedded in the wing of the Comet.
		The De Havilland Comet was the first jet airliner to operate transatlantic services, the first being on 4th October 1958, just a few weeks ahead of the Boeing 707.

	De Havilland Goblin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the primary engine of the de Havilland Vampire, and was to have been the engine for the F-80 Shooting Star (as the Allis-Chalmers J36) before that design switched engines due to production delays.
		The Goblin was later expanded into the larger de Havilland Ghost, with the model numbers continuing from the last marks of the Goblin.
		It was around this time that de Havilland purchased Halford's company and set him up as the de Havilland Engine Company', with the name changing from H-1 to "Goblin", while the new H-2 became the "Ghost".

	de Havilland DH106 Comet History
		The DH Ghost engines were not really powerful enough to carry the weights required by the airlines.
		The Ghost was accepted by BOAC as an interim measure while the more suitable Rolls Royce Avon was developed.
		To their enormous credit, de Havilland immediately came clean and published all of their data and findings to prevent more possible problems.

	Saab J-29 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale, le gouvernement suédois, désireux d'acquérir un avion de combat rapide, passait commande à la firme SAAB de trois prototypes d'un nouvel avion désigné R 1001.
		Fortement inspiré des études allemandes de la deuxième guerre mondiale, le prototype du Saab J.29, premier chasseur à réaction entièrement suédois, était construit autour du réacteur britannique De Havilland Ghost, ce qui en faisait à cette époque un avion de combat très moderne.
		The prototype of the SAAB J. 29 was inspired by german research during the second world war and was the first entirely Swedish jet fighter plane; it was built around a British jet engine, the De Havilland Ghost, which made it a very modern aircraft at the time.

	J29 Tunnan, Saab
		As a quick fix de Havilland Vampires were purchased in 1945 and licence production of its Goblin engine was started for the jet engined variant of Saab's J 21 fighter.
		It was from the outset clear that Goblin would be too small for the new "JxR" fighter beeing planned, and in December 1945 the De Havilland Ghost engine, still in the early stages of design, was selected and chosen to for licence production in Sweden.
		The earliest design work decided the relative merits of a "Vampire" or "Shooting Star" configuration, but finally the choice was to stand between project R 1001 "The Cigar" of a "Shooting Star" layout and R 1001 "The Barrel".

	The SAAB 29 Tunnan
		By the fall of 1945, they were able to get their hands on the British de Havilland "Goblin" centrifugal-flow turbojet engine, presently arranging to manufacture it under license.
		Through the assistance of the Swiss, SAAB engineers were also able to get their hands on German aerodynamic research data from the war that demonstrated the effectiveness of a swept wing for high-speed flight, and so modified the original straight wing to a wing with a sweepback of 25 degrees.
		Svensak Flygmotor developed an afterburning version of the Ghost turbojet, with 2,800 kilograms (6,175 pounds) afterburning thrust, and this improved engine was fitted to a J-29B for tests.

	Olivia de Havilland at Hollywood.com
		Born to British parents in the Orient, raised in California and discovered by Max Reinhardt, Olivia de Havilland was often cast as the forgiving, passive woman opposite swashbuckling men.
		Her demure sweetness played well against the cocky machismo of Errol Flynn and the team was frequently paired in romantic adventure films and Westerns, most successfully in "Captain Blood" (1935) and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938).
		De Havilland first proved herself as a serious dramatic actress as the long-suffering and almost insufferably sweet Melanie in "Gone with the Wind" (1939) and later as the inmate of a mental asylum in the harrowing "The Snake Pit" (1948)....

	John Cobb Tributes
		Designed by Reid Railton and Peter Du Cane, it was an unorthodox reverse three-pointer, with a central planing surface forward and twin planing surfaces aft.
		Its powerplant was a de Havilland Ghost, known for its used in the famed Comet jetliner.
		Although Malcolm Campbell had been the first to experiment with new-fangled jet power, Cobb recognized that the "fastest human on water" would soon be decided by the sheer weight of accomplishment, by thrust instead of internal combustion.

		In early 1951, it was decided that the Comets could fulfill both these roles, with an order being placed with de Havilland in England that November.
		They were able to perform both roles admirably, with their maximum altitude of 40,000 feet and cruising speed of 455 mph achieved by four de Havilland Ghost turbo-jet engines, each rated at 5,000 lbs.
		When the trouble had been pinpointed, the Comets were ferried to de Havilland, England, for structural modifications in August 1956.

		Certainly one of the most tragic stories of the jet age revolves around the unfortunate de Havilland Comet.
		Building on the British lead in jet engine technology following World War II, de Havilland developed and flew the first commercial jet aircraft in 1949, several years ahead of rival Boeing in America.
		Known as the D.H.106 Comet, the ailiner used four of the new de Havilland Ghost 50 turbojet engines mounted in the wing root leading edge of an otherwise fairly typical commercial airliner of the day.
