Whittle made the right choice to go with centrifugal in the first instance, as much of the early work used familiar supercharger tech as the basis. Axial flow was the way to go in the long term and just about everyone knew it, but centrifugal was easier baby steps and it remained viable for quite some time after the war.Not to mention the thing that Calum always brings up - lack of German access to raw materials for critical alloy components.Ooh, pray do tell.
