	Napier Nomad
		The Nomad used a turbine to recover power from the exhaust of the otherwise conventional Diesel engine, resulting in a specific fuel consumption that remains unmatched today, 50 years later.
		Prior to World War II Napier had licensed the Junkers Jumo 204[?] Diesel design to set up production in the UK as the Napier Culverin[?], however the start of the war made the Sabre all-important and work on the Culverin was stopped.
		While the Nomad 2 was undergoing testing, a prototype Avro Shackleton[?] was lent to Napier as a testbed.

	Napier & Son information - Search.com
		Napier & Son was a British engine manufacturer and one the most important aircraft engine manufacturers in the early to mid 20th Century.
		Napier developed a marine engine from the Lion aero engine, the petrol-driven Sea Lion, which could deliver 500 hp and were used in the "Whaleback" Air Sea Rescue Launches.
		During the war (1944) Napier were asked by the Royal Navy to supply a diesel engine for use in their patrol boats, but the Culverin's 720 hp (537 kW) was not nearly enough for their needs.

		Napier developed a marine engine from the Lion aero engine, the petrol-driven Sea Lion, which could deliver 500 hp and were used in the "Whaleback" Air Sea Rescue Launches.
		Last of the great Napier engines was the Nomad, a "turbo-compound" design that combined a diesel engine with a turbine to recover energy otherwise lost in the exhaust.

	History 1
		D. Napier and Son is an under-rated company which has not only manufactured superb products bringing credit to this country, but has also been responsible for the training of engineers to carry its standards of excellence to be used by other industries.
		Napier cars were owned by the rich and famous all over the world.
		Napiers realized the fundamental features for an aero-engine, low weight, smallest possible frontal area and maximum power, this generally means squeezing many cylinders into a small volume.

	Napier
		Napier engines were designed and built by D. Napier & Son, Limited of London, Acton, and Liverpool, UK.
		The Napier Nomad compound engine described below was a truly remarkable attempt to provide the 1950s with a highly-economical, efficient aircraft engine for long-range operations.
		The original version of the basic engine, the Nomad 1, was a twelve-cylinder, turbocharged, two-stroke, direct fuel-injection, compression-ignition (diesel) engine that was geared by helical spur reduction to drive the rear blade row (in tractor configuration) of a contra-rotating (C-R) propeller.

	ROADandTRACK.com -- Technical Correspondence - Technical Correspondence — June 2002 (6/2002)
		In response to the April 2002 Technical Correspondence column regarding the Wright Turbo-Compound engine, there was one other turbo-compounded engine, though it never saw large-scale production: the Napier Nomad.
		It was a 12-cylinder boxer 2-stroke diesel, that, in its first in-carnation, employed both centrifugal and axial superchargers, the aforementioned turbo-compounding, an afterburner and a nozzle on the exhaust to extract thrust.
		After much simplification, Napier abandoned the Nomad in favor of gas turbines.

	Napier Nomad / Naiad (????) [Archive] - PPRuNe Forums
		The Napier Nomad was a beast of an engine indeed.
		The Naiad was Napiers first gas turbine engine and the worlds first axial flow turboprop engine.
		Rolls Royce also tried wanted to build a diesel with the Crecy, a 26 litre 90 degree sleeve valve two stroke but the air ministry decreed it should be petrol.

	Diesel Engines
		A number of manufacturers built engines, the best known probably being the Junkers Jumo 205, which was moderately successful, but proved unsuitable for combat use in WWII.
		Postwar, another interesting proposal was the complex Napier Nomad.
		In general, though, the lower power-to-weight ratio of diesels, particularly compared to kerosene-powered turboprop engines, has precluded their use in this application.
