The AR aero engines were bench tested extensively and this helped in establishing the remarkable reliability and service and rebuild intervals of their engines, besides, of course, the engineering. The Germans were suitably impressed and envious of the quality and I believe a number were taken to Germany for studies - possibly for the Condors?

I have seen an AR advertisement not long ago depicting a jet engine compressor fan and simply the text Alfa Romeo. By the graphics I would say that it was probably from the 70's. Very stylish and obviously AR was then involved in jet engines.
