Could earlier Whittle investment produce gas-turbine warships?
Starting development in 1929 could make gas-turbine warships by 1945 possible, although the estimate remains tentative.
QuestionCould sustained turbojet development from 1929 lead to gas-turbine warships by 1945, or would the engines remain too unreliable?
Short answerPossibly, if development began in 1929.
NotesGas-turbine warships by 1945 are considered a tentative possibility if sustained British development began in 1929.
