The jet engine was first invented in World War II by a British engineer named Sir Frank Whittle. The young RAF officer was only 22 when he first thought of using a gas turbine engine to power an airplane.

Ans 2 - Actually, Frank Whittle submitted his first proposal for a jet engine in 1928 and had a working prototype in 1937 (long before WWII). At this same time period, jet engines were being planned in Germany, Italy and Russia.
