The Hungarians may have had their own indigneous project. Don't

worked but had problems with the combustion chamber burn through.
Someting that could only be solved with hard work on the test stand or
good alloys.

And which turboprop would that be? My understanding is the british did it first, and it
was in the 1940s.

The Jendrassic CS-1 designed in 1938 and tested in August 1940. The
war stopped its production even though a specific aircraft was
designed to fly with it- the Hungarian RMI-1 X/H which was fitted with
DB engines instead and destroyed in a bombing raid.

In other words, it never flew and was just another failed project.
