The PS. 23 or PS. 52 Gyron, also known as the Halford H-4, was Frank Halford's last turbojet design while working for de Havilland. Major Frank Bernard Halford ( 7 March 1894 – 16 April 1955) was an English Aircraft engine designer TurboJET (噴射飛航 is the brand name for the operations of the Hong Kong -based Shun Tak-China Travel Ship Management Limited (信德中旅船務管理有限公司 The de Havilland Aircraft Company (less commonly spelled de Haviland was a British aviation manufacturer founded in 1920 when Airco, of which Geoffrey Intended to outpower any design then under construction, the Gyron was the most powerful engine of its era, producing 20,000 lbf "dry", and 27,000 lbf with afterburner ("reheat" in British terminology). The AfterBurner is a lighting solution for the Game Boy Advance system that was created by Triton-Labs The engine was actually too large for most roles and saw no production use. It was later scaled down to 45% of its original size to produce the de Havilland Gyron Junior, which was somewhat more successful.
The Gyron was Halford's first axial-flow design, a complete departure from his earlier centrifugal-flow engines based on Whittle-like designs, the Goblin (H-1) and Ghost (H-2). Axial compressors are rotating aerofoil based compressors in which the working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation Centrifugal compressor, (sometimes referred to as radial compressors) are a special class of radial-flow work-absorbing Turbomachinery that includes pumps Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle, OM, KBE, FRS, Hon FRAeS (1 June 1907 &ndash 9 August 1996 was an English Royal WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.

The term supersonic is used to define a speed that is over the Speed of sound ( Mach 1
The Gyron first ran in 1953. This is a list of Aviation -related events from 1953: Events The first year in which the world's Airlines carried more than 50 million people ( Flight testing started in 1955 on a modified Short Sperrin (a bomber design that was instead turned into an experimental aircraft), replacing the lower two Rolls-Royce Avons with the much larger Gyrons.

The Gyron was selected for a number of projects, most notably the Hawker P. 1121 (sometimes referred to as the Hurricane) supersonic attack aircraft that was to have been the replacement for the Hawker Hunter.

Another design potentially based on the Gyron was the Operational Requirement F.155 interceptor, which optionally used the Rolls-Royce RB.106. Operational Requirement F155 was a specification issued by the British Ministry of Supply for an interceptor aircraft to defend the United Kingdom from high flying The RB106 was an advanced military Turbojet engine design of the 1950s by Rolls Royce Ltd. F. 155 was also cancelled, part of the 1957 Defence White Paper. The 1957 White Paper on Defence (Cmnd230 was a British White paper setting forth the future as seen of the British military
An example of the Gyron is held by the Science Museum[1], another was held by the de Havilland Heritage Museum, St Albans [2]
The Gyron Junior was the initial powerplant of the Blackburn Buccaneer before the type was re-engined with the Rolls-Royce Spey, and it was also used in the Bristol 188 supersonic research aircraft.
