​@rolandhazuki8787 I'm more interested on the one on shite to be honest 😂

The bit about no longer being allowed forward into the flight deck of an Aircraft is such a great shame. I remember when I was 7 or 8 (I'm now 37) on my way to Majorca I was ecstatic about being allowed in the cockpit, meeting the pilots and seeing how things worked. It really did inspire a life long passion for aviation. That particular flight aboard a Palmair BAe 146 really was the moment I fell in love with aviation. In fact, I couldn't wait for the 2 week holiday to be over so I could have another tour of the cockpit!

55:06 and onward, The best summary of aviation on earth along with the music and shots of the jets. Almost cried while watching it. As well as 52:04.

Simplistic but quite good fun . No doubt about it the Gloster E28/39 for a first jet aircraft was superb

I absolutely fallen from my bed laughing the he was flying to Tahiti.

fun wittle fact , his engine was called a centripetal flow engine , where the air is spun at high speed , all jets now days use " axial flow " where a series of progressively smaller fans force the air along the engine and squeezed in to a smaller hole while being sped up , a turbo fan is a small axial flow engine turning a big ducted fan , and a turbo prop is a axial flow geared to turn a propeller

Forget the DC-8 or the 707.... British Vickers Viscount (pressurized turboprop airliner) made its first flight in 1948 with ROUND WINDOWS!

As much as he praises the Jet, the fact of the matter is that Prop aircraft are still used in training/close airport roles. Their also used a ton for civilian aircraft and allot of less developed parts of the worlds use prop transports.

so... coanda did have the idea, design,... but the first recorded flight in a jet plane was in 1938, as told by clarkson Coandă's colleague at Huyck Corporation, G. Harry Stine-a rocket scientist, author and "the father of American model rocketry"-stated in his book The Hopeful Future that "there were several jet-propelled aircraft in existence at an early time-the Coandă-1910 jet and the 1938 Caproni Campini N.1, the pure jet aircraft flight was made in Germany in 1938". Rolf Sonnemann and Klaus Krug from the University of Technology of Dresden, mentioned in passing in their 1987 book Technik und Technikwissenschaften in der Geschichte (Technology and Technical Sciences in History) that the Coandă-1910 was the world's first jet. Between 1911 and 1914, he worked as technical manager of the Bristol Aeroplane Company[1] in the United Kingdom, where he designed several aeroplanes known as the Bristol-Coanda Monoplanes. In 1912 one of these aircraft won a prize at the British Military Aeroplane Competition. In 1915, he returned to France where, working during World War I for Delaunay-Belleville in Saint-Denis, he designed and built three different models of propeller aeroplane, including the Coandă-1916, with two propellers mounted close to the tail. This design was to be reprised in the 1950s Sud Aviation Caravelle transport aeroplane, for which Coandă was a technical consultant. In the years between the wars, he continued traveling and inventing. In 1934 he was granted a French patent related to the Coandă Effect. During early 1930 he used the same principle as the basis for the design of a disc-shaped aircraft called Aerodina Lenticulara, a "flying saucer" that used an unspecified source of high pressure gases to flow through a ring-shaped vent system. In 1936 Coandă applied for a patent for his design.[10] No practical full-scale version was built.

fun 707 fact , qantas actually scored the first 707s before pan am and after they were retired from civil use they were used in the RAAF and only retired in 2008 , john travolta is a qualified 707pilot and actually purchased an ex qantas 707

That story about Frank Whittle was amazing. Jeremy clarckson is one hell of a story teller.

A jet is a type of gas turbine engine, other types are turbo fan (modern thrust producers), turboprop (uses a propeller for trust) and turbo shaft (torque producer) all of which are better in every way than a jet. I find it hard to believe that simple vapor trails increase temperatures more than .0000000000001 degrees. And until Airbus stops having a reputation for extremely high maintenance I think boeing will be just fine.

Crag_r Well, yes and no. To be considered the inventor, you have indeed to have the concept, and a practical way of production. The french patent has a detailed, "working" turbojet, with all components (worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/originalDocument?CC=FR&NR=534801&KC=&FT=E ) . What it doesn't have, is materials usable for the construction, which didn't exist at the time, and were not researched. It also hasn't a tested, working prototype. Whittle is the practical inventor of the jet engine. But not mentioning the concept being published in detail 9 years earlier is just rubbish.

Wernher Von Braun was only 14 years old when Goddard started launching liquid fueled rockets. Goddard sought funding from the US Military who refused funding because liquid fueled rockets took time and effort to prepare them for launch while solid fuel rockets could be set up and fired in a matter of minutes.
