Frank Whittle invented the turbojet engine in 1937. In the post-war years jet engines would become the next step in aircraft development. This impact would be felt across all sectors of aviation, from commercial to military, and would play a big part in furthering flying technology to unthinkable new heights.

Did they ever try to barrel roll the Comet in any of its iterations? Because the pilot responsible for demonstrating the 707 for investors and the big bosses, did just that.

Former Boeing... it is interesting to see how Jet Engines have 'Evolved'... Whittle's first used 'Combustion Cans' that were arranged in a circle. They were easier to produce, reliable, but limited performance. Three main types of combustion chamber in use for gas turbine engines. These include; multiple chamber (cans), the tubo-annular chamber, and the annular chamber. I have stood inside front of GE 9x engines used on our B-777. It is huge and would not fit inside my house with 8 foot ceilings. The Front Fan is about 12 feet in diameter.

Very nice video 😊

It would be helpful to mute the narration on the original footage when adding your own. It's really distracting to hear the other narration under the one I'm trying to listen to.

Go out and look for funding to start your own production company, hire researchers, gather old news footage and media releases, hire a production team and editor......make your own videos then upload them to social media and hope idiots like you don't complain about such trivial matters as you did.

this was back when private companies were dumb enough to dump a majority of their profits back into consumer safety, R&D and the company in general, rather than just CEO pay raises and corner cutting like they do now.

@oldgitsknowstuff Ай бұрын

You refer to the Vickers Viscount, yet.....Not a single picture of the Viscount can be seen in this production. Lots of pictures of the Brittania and the Vanguard but non of the Viscount. Or perhapse I missed something ?

This video got me thinking it's More of a space thing really but I think it fits here. This whole thing with engines not going quick enough. And with people officially crying outheories that. Once were in the domain of science faction? I think there may be on a correct course, but they still have it wrong. I think you should use the third way possible of movement ,and not move yourself but the whole of space and time around you. I think only then real choice becomes possible within a block Universe.. And real travel. But that's just me I guess

Did Whittle design ME-262?

@tachikomakusanagi3744 Ай бұрын

No, that would have been treason surely?

@barracuda7018 Ай бұрын

He didn’t design anything..He only applied for a patent for a flawed design that didn’t work. German Me 262 was the first operational jet fighter powered by axial flow jet engine a whole generation ahead of Whittle's centrifugal design . German Heinkel 178 flew in 1939 two years before Whittle ...

It was the first operational jet fighter made by Germans.
