No, I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the centrigugal compressor
jet engine was an evolutionary dead-end except for some APUs and jet
starters.

Subject: RE: Sir Frank Whittle: Turbojet Inventor
Neil, Whittle's book mentions the axial-flow jet, which was also
developed in England, and my impression was that both designs continued
on and had practical success in parallel. The turbo-prop has had a long
run, and was that not the centrifugal type? Bill
