The Napier Eland was a British turboshaft gas-turbine engine built by Napier & Son. It was first tested in 1953 in a Vickers Varsity aircraft^[1]. The Eland was dropped from production when Napiers was acquired by Rolls-Royce Limited in 1961^[1].

The Eland was used to power various aircraft including the Westland Westminster heavy-lift helicopter, the Canadair CL-66; a turbine-powered version of the Convair CV-340 for the Canadian military^[1] and the Fairey Rotodyne convertiplane. In the Rotodyne, the Eland provided the power for the tractor propellors for forward flight and as a gas generator to drive the main rotor for vertical flight^[2].
