Anotace knihy

The present book describes the development history of turbojet engines, mainly in the web-type triangle Great Britain (USA) - Germany - Switzerland from early beginnings in the 1920s up to the first practical usage in the 1950s, before the still unbroken, grand impact of aero propulsion technology on global air traffic started.In contrary to the established practice in tech-historic writing of two independent development strings in England (Sir Frank Whittle) and Germany (Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain), here especially interconnections are highlighted, including the considerable impact of axial-flow compressor design know-how of the Swiss/ German company BBC Brown Boveri & Cie. on both sides. This book tells in a unified, comprehensive approach the early development history of aero gas turbines.The author reveals significant undercurrents which led to a considerable exchange, and thus change in understanding of the technical-historical perspective, especially in the decisive years before WW II, and thus closes gaps in the unilateral views of this ground-breaking technical advancement. Besides a chronological description of interwoven technical progress, there are four 'excursion' sections, highlighting the parallel lives of leading engineers. The old 'Whittle vs. von Ohain Saga' is not repeated in full, but addressed in sufficient detail to understand the considerably enlarged narrative scope.
