The jet engine was invented independently by two people Frank Whittle in England and Dr. Hans von Ohain in Germany. In 1928, as a student at the Royal Air Force technical college at Cranwell, Frank Wliittle wrote a senior thesis entitled Future... 

English inventor Frank Whittle patents the basic design of the turbojet engine. 

The role of the gas turbine is more familiar to many of us in the aircraft field. However, since Sir Frank Whittle invented the jet engine in the early pioneering years before the Second World War there has been rapid development in both output and efficiency of these machines, and today the gas turbine is a popular choice for electricity generation.
