The Armstrong Siddeley ASX was an early axial flow jet engine built by Armstrong Siddeley that first ran in April 1943.[1] Only a single prototype was constructed, and it was never put into production. A turboprop version as the ASP was somewhat more successful, and as the Armstrong Siddeley Python saw use in the Westland Wyvern.
