Sir Frank Whittle (engineer)

Sir Frank Whittle was a pioneering British engineer and inventor who developed the jet engine in the 1930s. His innovation revolutionized aviation by enabling aircraft to fly faster, higher, and more efficiently than piston engines. By designing the first operational jet engine, he laid the groundwork for modern jet-powered airplanes, transforming air travel and military aircraft. Whittle's work demonstrated the potential of turbojet technology, significantly influencing the future of aerospace engineering and global transportation.
