==Design and development==

The design started as an experimental pure-turbojet known as the [[Armstrong Siddeley ASX|ASX]], which startedcommenced runningtesting in 1943. By this point other engine designs were already entering pre-production, and it seemed there was little need for the ASX in its existing form. The design was then modified into the turboprop layout with the addition of a second [[turbine]] stage, which was geared to the propeller and was named '''ASP''' at that stage.<ref>Gunston 1989, p.18.</ref>
