1929 – Felix Wankel patents the Wankel rotary engine (U.S. patent 2,988,008). [17] Late 1930s – Hans von Ohain [18] and Frank Whittle [19] separately build pioneering gas turbine engines intended for aircraft propulsion, leading to the pioneering turbojet powered flights in 1939 Germany and 1941 England.
Although the most common type, the gas turbine powered jet engine, was certainly a 20th-century invention, many of the needed advances in theory and technology leading to this invention were made well before this time. The jet engine was clearly an idea whose time had come. Frank Whittle submitted his first patent in 1930. By the late 1930s ...
The Ford Model A engine, produced in the millions, [1] [2] was one of the most mass-produced automobile engines of the 1920s and 1930s, [8] used in automobiles, trucks, tractors, farm machinery, industrial applications, boats, military vehicles, and even aircraft.
The engine compressed the air/fuel mixture before combustion, unlike the other atmospheric engines of the time. The engine was a single-cylinder unit that displaced 6.1 dm 3, and was rated 3 PS (2,206 W) at 180/min, with a fuel consumption of 0.95 m 3 /PSh (1.29 m 3 /kWh).
Engineers in the 1930s realized that the maximum performance of piston engines was limited, [4] as propulsive efficiency declined as blade tips approached the speed of sound. For engine performance to increase beyond this barrier, a way would have to be found to radically improve the design of the piston engine, or a wholly new type of ...

1928: Frank Whittle formally submitted his ideas for a turbo-jet engine. In October 1929, he developed his ideas further. [468] On 16 January 1930, Whittle submitted his first patent (granted in 1932).
