Question

who invented jet plane?

Answer 1

This question is fairly complex.



The first operational turbojet engine was built by Sir Frank Whittle and was operated in April 1937 for the first time, several months before Otto Von Hain's less practical engine. Despite this, the Germans were the first actually in the air with a turbojet powered aircraft, simply by installing a jet into an airframe: the He-178.



The famous Messerschmitt Me-262 was the first fighter jet to fly in prototype, though Britain's Gloster Meteor actually entered service first by a matter of days. These were the first practical jet fighters. Germany also operated an Arado twin jet bomber/recon aircraft.



Despite being less aerodynamically advanced, the Meteor enjoyed a long operational career in various forms. The Me-262 was hampered by unreliable engines and many other issues, not least of which was the inevitable defeat in WW2. The 262 inspired much of the former allies jet design for the next decade.

Answer 2

Who Invented The Jet Plane

Answer 3

Henri Marie Coanda (1886-1972), a Romanian scientist, built the “Air Reactive Aeroplane“ in 1910.

This is known as the 1st jet built and flown ever. It was presented at the 2nd International Aeronautical Exhibition from Paris – 1910.



30 years later, the German designers have largely used the jet engines for military aircrafts (He-162, Me-262. Ar-234). After the WWII, based on the captured (German) material, information and personnel, USA, UK & the USSR have restarted the jet engines race.

Answer 5

Hans Von Ohain in Germany in 1939 developed the first jet engine used in a Heinkel He-178 and in 1940 the Caproni-Campini CC2 in Italy and finally Sir Frank Whittle in 1941 in the Gloster E.28/39 were the first jets but these were experimental craft and not practical for war or other uses. The first successful jet was the Messerschmidt Me-262 developed in Germany. But mainly it was Von Ohain and Whittle who were the main developers of successful jet engines.

Answer 6

The Nazi's during the end of world war II. Then the US and Soviet Union took those designs and used them to build their own jets. Jets became common in the 1950's for the military.

Answer 7

the idea for jet propulsion originated simultaneously, yet independently in England and Germany. England withdrew funding for the project before it was implemented, until they saw what the German jets could do.

Answer 8

I would prefer to say Germans because Nazi was a political group. they also recognized swept wing was best. A fact over looked by Americans until the Mig 15 ate their lunch in Korea.

Answer 9

Jetman? Dude there is a technical name for them. Jetplanes are little things you see on baby's toys.
