Does anyone besides myself actually know when and where the first jet engine was patented?

Question

Been trying to figure out how many people know the historical significance of when and where the original jet engine was invented and patented.

Answer 1

Frank Whittle... A Brit, got the first patent on a jet turbine engine in 1930. A German named Hans von Ohain also developed a jet turbine engine, but didn't get a patent on his design until 1936. von Ohain's engine was the first to fly in 1939, while the first Whittle engine didn't fly until 1942.

Answer 2

Patented, no. But nazi germany was the first with a functional jet engine. It was in the Messerschmit ME-262 fighter. It entered the war too late to have a serious effect on the outcome of the war. And since the metallurgy was primitive, it only had a flying time of about 10 hours before the engine had to be rebuilt. But is scared the hell out of the American P51-Mustang pilots that came up against it. The piston-engine mustang could do about 250 MPH, and the ME-262 could do about 400 mph.

After the war the engineers that designed it went to work for the americans for the military and the early NASA projects.

The first Jet aircraft was the messerschmidt me 262, so quite likely was a German company like Benz
