de Havilland Jet Mosquito

History of De Havilland Jets

"Jet Mosquito" is a short-lived modification of the classic de Havilland DH. 98 fighter-bombers of the Mosquito series (detailed elsewhere on this page). Mosquitoes played various roles during World War II (1939-1945) and were produced by thousands during and after the conflict.

Its success only opened up the various production types proposed by the company for the aircraft, such as the "Wooden Wonder" for its super battlefield effectiveness.

As the name suggests, the Jet Mosquito aims to be a jet-powered evolution of the classic DH. 98 discounts. The fuselage will retain most of its original form and function, except the main aircraft has slightly swept wings. Of course, the original propellers gave way to underwing nacelles containing turbojets.

The crew lives under a bubble-like canopy that provides excellent forward visibility. The tail will consist of a vertical tail and low-lying horizontal surfaces. Trailing gear should be standard for ground operations.

Powered by 2x de Havilland Halford H-1 "Goblin" series turbojets with an estimated top speed of 445 mph. The goblin engine later powered several notable aircraft, including the Gloucester Meteor and the de Havilland Vampire. The internal bomb load is expected to be up to 2,000 pounds.

The drafts of the document that have appeared in mid-1942 do not go beyond some well-known drawings.
