The Naiad was Napiers first gas turbine engine and the worlds first axial flow turboprop engine.

Like the Nomad it was only tested in a Lincoln.

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.
