Aircraft Engines: From Props to Supersonic. How Engineers And Inventors Revolutionized Society. V.3

Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff on a thrilling journey through the history of aircraft engines! This video collection explores the incredible evolution of these powerful machines, from the iconic piston engines of World War II to the screaming jets that power supersonic passenger travel.
Warbirds and Legends:
We'll begin with the legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin, the engine that roared in the Spitfire and Hurricane, turning the tide of World War II. Discover its intricate design, its remarkable power, and the stories of the brave pilots who relied on it in the heat of battle. Then, we'll explore the evolution of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190's engine, tracing the German engineering ingenuity that pushed piston engine technology to its limits.
The Jet Revolution:
Witness the dawn of the jet age with the invention of the turbojet engine. Follow the pioneering work of Frank Whittle, whose revolutionary creation first took flight in 1937, forever changing the course of aviation. See how jet engines unleashed a new era of speed and performance, paving the way for supersonic flight.
Breaking the Sound Barrier:
Experience the thrill of supersonic passenger travel with iconic aircraft like the Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144. Learn about the challenges of designing engines capable of exceeding the speed of sound and the collaborative efforts behind the magnificent Concorde, a joint venture between Aerospatiale and BAC.

Jet powerplants have come such a long way in development and thrust output. Love your channel, please keep 'em coming 👌✈️

The British invented sonar, radar, the world's first programmable computer, and the jet engine. But they put obstacle after obstacle in the path of their inventors and never rewarded or honored them properly IMO (Frank Whittle, Tommy Flowers, Alan Turing, etc.).

I remember the West Palm Beach "Beeline Hwy" out to the Pratt and Whitney plant back in the early early 1980's. I dont know what it looks like now, I have been there in a couple decades but back then it truly was out in the middle of "nowhere". It always stunned me that for a state as populated as Florida, you could so easily get a sense of being in such a primitive place.
