It was an extremely advanced design, using a nine-stage axial compressor, annular combustor, and a two-stage turbine. It first powered a Gloster Meteor in November 1943, outperforming similar models from Power Jets.In spite of this excellent start, it was considered unreliable and never saw use during the war. In the post-war era a number of engines had much higher performance, and interest in the F.2 waned. The potential of the engine and the investment did not go to waste, however, the design was passed from Metropolitan-Vickers to Armstrong Siddeley when Metrovick left the gas turbine business. Armstrong Siddeley produced a larger version as the successful Sapphire."@en }
