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 ...
Argus As 014 (aka "Argus 109-014") – pulse jet engine for V-1 flying ... Italian Civil & Military Aircraft 1930–1945 [17 ... Initial development model using ...
Gas turbine engines, commonly called "jet" engines, could do that. The key to a practical jet engine was the gas turbine, used to extract energy from the engine itself to drive the compressor. The gas turbine was not an idea developed in the 1930s: the patent for a stationary turbine was granted to John Barber in England in 1791.
A jet engine is a type of reaction engine, discharging a fast-moving jet of heated gas (usually air) that generates thrust by jet propulsion. While this broad definition may include rocket , water jet , and hybrid propulsion, the term jet engine typically refers to an internal combustion air-breathing jet engine such as a turbojet , turbofan ...
A series of design studies for a twin-engine jet airliner with BS.75 engines on the rear fuselage and a high-swept tail. The aircraft would seat 48 passengers with room forward for cargo. Similar in size to the Hunting H.107 project. DH.125 British Aerospace 125 initially "Jet Dragon" 13 August 1962 Medium corporate jet: DH.126 Not built
The WU "First Model", also known by Whittle as the first "experimental" engine, [1] and the "1st edition", [2] was the first turbojet engine to be built and run in the world. [3] Although an experimental engine and not intended for flight it was designed to be very light by normal engineering standards. [2]
In June 1946 Boeing proposed their Model 462 to fill the requirement, featuring six T35 engines, later reduced to four in a series of redesigns. However, by 1948 advances in airframe design, particularly the introduction of the swept wing , allowed the bomber to move to jet power, eventually leading to the B-52 Stratofortress .
The HeS 30 (HeS - Heinkel Strahltriebwerke) was an early jet engine, originally designed by Adolf Müller at Junkers, but eventually built and tested at Heinkel.It was possibly the best of the "Class I" engines, a class that included the more famous BMW 003 and Junkers Jumo 004.
