What propelled the Meteor then ?

Rubber bands ?

The Welland of the Meteor I could, admitedly, outperform a rubber band

The Meteor III improved the situation but was still no faster than a
top line piston fighter at altitude. (TA 152H, P51H, Spitefull, Do
335, P47M)


Meteor III was considered superior to the Tempest V in all depts
except for roll rate, the Meteor III's with long nacelles were faster
than the Me-262 and the Meteor IV's were capable of 580 mph
