The Rolls Royce Derwent Aircraft Engine

The Rolls Royce Derwent was the second jet engine produced by Rolls Royce and was still firmly based on Sir Frank Whittle W.2B centrifugal compressor turbojet design. The Rolls Royce Derwent first ran in 1943 and was destined to be further developed into the Rolls-Royce Nene as well as the Rolls-Royce Trent RB.50, the World's first production turboprop engine. A reverse engineered Derwent V was built as the Klimov RD-500 by the Soviet Union and used to power the MiG-15 jet fighter.
