1. Sir Frank Whittle: Turbojet Inventor (score: 1): Author: ardunbill@webtv.net; Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2003 11:56:33 -0500 (EST); Just finished reading Whittle's book "Jet- The Story of a Pioneer" (1953) and what a great read it is! He invented the turbojet in the early '30s, as an RAF pilot himself he saw the need for high-alt; /html/land-speed/2003-02/msg00269.html (9,619 bytes)

RE: Sir Frank Whittle: Turbojet Inventor (score: 1): Author: ardunbill@webtv.net; Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2003 15:59:08 -0500 (EST); Neil, Whittle's book mentions the axial-flow jet, which was also developed in England, and my impression was that both designs continued on and had practical success in parallel.

You'd be surprised at how convoluted the air path is in our helicopter turbines. Dale C. The turbo-prop has had a long run, and was that not the centrifugal type?

I think it's safe to say the GE engine was a descendent of the Whittle engine but, unless there was some intel failure on the part of the UK,; /html/land-speed/2003-02/msg00282.html (9,835 bytes)

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the centrigugal compressor jet engine was an evolutionary dead-end except for some APUs and jet starters.
