Hans von Ohain

Hans von Ohain was a German engineer and physicist who pioneered jet engine technology. In the late 1930s, he developed the first operational turbojet engine, which revolutionized aviation by enabling faster, more efficient aircraft. His work laid the foundation for modern jet engines used in commercial and military aircraft today. Despite facing setbacks during World War II, von Ohain's innovations significantly advanced aerospace engineering and contributed to the development of high-speed flight. His contributions are recognized as critical in the history of aeronautics and jet propulsion technology.
