Technology is exciting, no matter what stage of developement :)

The first jet fighter that was actually deployed was the German Messerschmidt Me 626 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262

Am I the only one that notice the music from Robin Hood (the good one with Kevin Costner) playing as the plane takes off?

Let's get ONE thing straight right here, right now people: it was the UK's Sir Frank Whittle's design of the turbojet engine that made this possible, he took his design to you Americans !!!!

Oh and Werner Von Braun from Nazi Germany gave you the Rocket too!!

#7 ... Henri Coanda was the first to construct a jetpowered airplane, not the inventor of the jet-engine (thou without the internal moving parts). During his experiments Coanda noticed a fenomena which become known as the Coanda-effect. Jet-engines in various forms has been around since way back. But the first self-sustaining gas-turbine to run successfully was built in 1903 by Norwegian engineer Aegidius Elling.
Oh? By the way - I'm not Norwegian...so mentioning of Elling has nothing to do with...eeh? Patriotism!?... :D. Whatever achievements in history -
they are done by individuals, not nations. But nations can provide the
fertile ground for sucsess. What if Nikola Tesla had stayed in what is todays Croatia? (He was an ethnic Serb). I suspect the introduction of Alternating Current would be very much delayed, and our industrial history would have been very much delayed...
Sorry for writing so much, but life is such - lots of info :D:D

#11 - Peter, Paul and Mary recorded the most popular version. Song was written by John Denver. And the second phrase is "don't know when I'll be back again." My older sisters were hippies. :D

#14 What are you talking about? Einstein was not part of the Manhatten Project.
According to fellow physicist Leo Szilard, Einstein said the possibility of a chain reaction "never occurred to me" when talking about splitting the atom. Einstein was a pacifist who wanted nothing to do with war making and always regretted signing Szilard's letter asking Roosevelt to fund making an atomic bomb.

#23 Yea and Coanda spent WW2 in occupied France helping the Nazis with their war effort to dominate all of Europe. I would not be too proud of him or his claimed and unproven accomplishments.

Coanda built the first Jet Aeroplane. Sadly his prototype crashed due to the amount of power it delivered. The wooden fuselage also caught fire due to the "Coanda Effect". He run out of money- but he was way ahead of his time. Think of how the world would have been different if it was taken up at Paris.

The Roman people of Dacia can be proud of their countryman.
