[QUOTE="Scribus, post: 5986506, member: 117192"] Ah, but there are plenty of loose strings as well. The story would appear to be of two conflicting technologies, poppet valve and sleeve valve, RR had obviously backed the former and Napier the latter. RR naturally wanted its version of the aero engine to be used by the armed forces and would no doubt look unkindly upon the competition, war is a big money making opportunity after all. It was the same in Germany, two aircraft companies chasing the prize of jet power and Heinkel actually got a plane in the air before Whittle did, but we now associate German wartime jet aircraft with Messerschmitt.
