Encyclopedia Britannica: Whittle obtained his first patent for a turbo-jet engine in 1930, and in 1936 he joined with associates to found a company called Power Jets Ltd. He tested his first jet engine on the ground in 1937. This event is customarily regarded as the invention of the jet engine, but the first operational jet engine was designed in Germany by Hans Pabst von Ohain and powered the first jet-aircraft flight on August 27, 1939. The outbreak of World War II finally spurred the British government into supporting Whittle’s development work. A jet engine of his invention was fitted to a specially built Gloster E.28/39 airframe, and the plane’s maiden flight took place on May 15, 1941. The British government took over Power Jets Ltd. in 1944, by which time Britain’s Gloster Meteor jet aircraft were in service with the RAF, intercepting German V-1 rockets. Whittle retired from the RAF in 1948 with the rank of air commodore, and that same year he was knighted. The British government eventually atoned for their earlier neglect by granting him a tax-free gift of £100,000. He was awarded the Order of Merit in 1986. In 1977 he became a research professor at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. His book Jet: The Story of a Pioneer was published in 1953.

Concorde was a wild time, they charged "if you have to ask you can't afford it" prices for tickets. I remember it as a fighter jet with passengers, they would take off over my house and sounded like the F-15s of the time
@lloydevans2900Рік тому
Funnily enough, BA did once explicitly ask that question. Concorde was an expensive plane to operate, and by the mid-1980s it was costing more to run the flights than BA was making from the ticket sales, mainly due to fuel prices. Then someone in BA management had a brainwave: They realised that most of the passengers on Concorde didn't buy the tickets personally - they had secretaries or assistants who did that for them. So a questionnaire was issued on the next few flights, with many questions for passengers, but the only one that BA was truly interested in was how much did you think your ticket had cost, or words to that effect. As it turned out, their idea was correct, and that passengers had no idea what the ticket prices really were, so most of them guessed way above the price they had actually paid. Armed with that information, BA simply upped the price, matching it to the expectation. As such, Concorde flights became far more profitable than they ever had been. If that hadn't been done, Concorde might well have been grounded a lot sooner than it actually was.
@twt3716Рік тому
My grandad used to build them. He told me that the bulkhead and cockpit would expand so much at top speed because of heat differences that there would be a four inch gap between them ! He told me an interestimg story that on the last flight the two pilots inserted their caps into this gap and when they landed the caps were so tightly squeezed between the two structures that they were impossible to remove. Cool.

In April 1985, British Airways were trialing one of their Concorde's up and down the North Sea, it was being test flown after some maintenance work had been cared out, no passengers aboard of course. The pilots of the British Airways Concorde offered themselves as a target for NATO fighters to try and overtake, so at an altitude of 57,000 feet and without reheats, maintaining supercruise, flying at a speed of Mach 2.02 none of them could do it despite trying several times. On full Power and reheats a RAF Lightning only just struggled past Concorde, before quicky having to switch its reheats off so it didn't run itself empty. As the Lightning passed, the Concorde pilots congratulated the pilot, who had managed to overtake Concorde. However when you think about it the Lightning only just managed to overtake an aircraft that weighed over 140 tonnes and was designed to carry 100 passengers and their luggage, and what is even more impressive is that, throughout the entire *competition," the fighters had all been using their reheats to try and pass, yet Concorde had been comfortably cruising and staying ahead of the fighters with its reheats switched OFF! It is incredible to think that an aircraft can carry 100 passengers and their luggage and maintain a speed of Mach 2 without reheats for over two hours! Fighter planes cannot do this, and they cannot maintain supersonic flight for more than about 15 minutes or they will run out of fuel! This event just goes to show what an unbelievable feat of engineering Concorde was and still is! An aircraft with Power and Beauty which has touched the hearts of millions and gone on to inspire many more!
@lloydevans2900Рік тому
@@mikewa2 Not that much of a surprise, since the English Electric Lightning was a notoriously fuel-thirsty aircraft, with a well deserved reputation for being overpowered and having fuel tanks which were far too small. However, it was designed from the outset to be a point interceptor, the purpose being to climb to cruise altitude as quickly as possible, shoot down incoming Tupolev bombers and then land again, so flight endurance was understandably low on the list of priorities. The power difference is also substantial: The Lightning had a pair of Avon turbojets, with a maximum combined thrust (with afterburners on) of 32,720 lbf. Each engine on Concorde ( Snecma-Olympus 593) was capable of 32,000 lbf of thrust with afterburners off, or 38,000 lbf with afterburners on. Concorde had 4 of these, giving it almost 4 times the power of the Lightning. This doesn't make the Concorde any less of an incredible achievement of course. It did have economies of scale on its side, since you can cram far more fuel into an airliner than into a much smaller fighter, and larger aircraft have a greater proportion of maximum takeoff weight as "payload" than smaller ones. Even so, some of the NASA engineers who worked on the Apollo Saturn V launch vehicle have been heard to say that getting man to the moon was easy compared to getting Concorde to work.

I'm just sat here thinking how simple but effective the production is on this, like in terms of logistics, the way they film it, it is 75% Clarkson and then what ever setting they decide to film him in, e.g. they go from one country to another like it's nothing but then only include 30 seconds worth of Clarkson making whatever point he's making. Just goes to show really. If you've got the budget to fly wherever you need, even just economy, you can make basic conversational stuff seem interesting in a video entertainment sense by using this simple formula! But ultimately it is 75% Clarkson so you need to have interesting ideas and a way of communicating it effectively in the first place. Really cool when you think about it!

For those of you not familiar with academia in Britain, Whittle's story is repeated here year in year out. This country has a culture, which does its utmost to stand in the way of productive people. Power and control in this country are allocated unfairly to inept imbeciles who's only claim to their position is their wealth, or their aristocratic heritage or even their race or their gender....these inept lowlifes in turn through their idiocy and lack of understanding and therefore lack of appreciation for good work, put up barriers in the way of great minds which hamper their progress and make their life impossible. Many a great mind and a great work have been lost as a result of this backward culture.

The Coandă-1910, designed by Romanian inventor Henri Coandă, was an unconventional sesquiplane aircraft powered by a ducted fan. Called the "turbo-propulseur" by Coandă, its experimental engine consisted of a conventional piston engine driving a multi-bladed centrifugal blower which exhausted into a duct. The unusual aircraft attracted attention at the Second International Aeronautical Exhibition in Paris in October 1910, being the only exhibit without a propeller, but the aircraft was not displayed afterward and it fell from public awareness.

@FigaroHey11 місяців тому
Before World War II, in 1939, jet engines primarily existed in labs. The end of the war, however, illustrated that jet engines, with their great power and compactness, were at the forefront of aviation development. A young German physicist, Hans von Ohain, worked for Ernst Heinkel, specializing in advanced engines, to develop the world's first jet plane, the experimental Heinkel He 178. It first flew on August 27, 1939. Building on this advancement, German engine designer Anselm Franz developed an engine suitable for use in a jet fighter. This airplane, the Me 262, was built by Messerschmitt. Though the only jet fighter to fly in combat during World War II, the Me 262 spent a significant amount of time on the ground due to its high consumption of fuel. It was often described as a “sitting duck for Allied attacks.” Meanwhile, in England, Frank Whittle invented a jet engine completely on his own. The British thus developed a successful engine for another early jet fighter-the Gloster Meteor. Britain used it for homeland defense but, due to lack of speed, it was not used to combat over Germany. The British shared Whittle's technology with the U.S., allowing General Electric (GE) to build jet engines for America's first jet fighter, the Bell XP-59. The British continued to develop new jet engines from Whittle's designs, with Rolls-Royce initiating work on the Nene engine during 1944. The company sold Nenes to the Soviets-a Soviet version of the engine, in fact, powered the MiG-15 jet fighter that later fought U.S. fighters and bombers during the Korean War. The 1945 surrender of Germany revealed substantial wartime discoveries and inventions. General Electric and Pratt & Whitney, another American engine-builder, added German lessons to those of Whittle and other British designers. Early jet engines, such as those of the Me 262, gulped fuel rapidly. Thus, an initial challenge was posed: to build an engine that could provide high thrust with less fuel consumption. Pratt & Whitney resolved this dilemma in 1948 by combining two engines into one. The engine included two compressors; each rotated independently, the inner one giving high compression for good performance. Each compressor drew power from its own turbine; hence there were two turbines, one behind the other. This approach led to the J-57 engine. Commercial airliners-the Boeing 707, the Douglas DC-8-flew with it. One of the prominent postwar engines, it entered service with the U.S. Air Force in 1953.

The Americans didn’t invent it, so they complained about the noise it made when breaking the sound barrier. You can bet your life if they had made Concorde it would have had a different story. One crash happened in all of it’s time in service, and that was a convenient excuse to wrap it all up. The world is a different place now, and mass transport numbers seems to be the way to go.

No I speak a language influenced by them both and others :D Unless you count "wo ist ein rathaus" or "ou est la gare" as speaking either language!

Caproni should be noted for his inadvertent input to jets. He built a ducted fan aircraft, a venturi tube as a fuselage with a pretty wimpy engine driving an aircrew. Not a jet but it paved the way for the jet. A venturi tube using fans to channel air which is then heated and expanded by burning fuel. Different but somehow the same in principle.
