The Turbomeca Palas is a diminutive centrifugal flow turbojet engine used to power light aircraft. It was designed in 1950 by the French manufacturer Société Turbomeca, and was also produced under licence by Blackburn and General Aircraft in the UK and Continental Motors in the US.

Applications

The Palas was used on many small jet-powered aircraft, including the Short Sherpa, Fouga CM130, Miles Sparrowjet, SIPA S-200 and Caproni Trento F.5 Many of these aircraft were little more than powered gliders.
