Turbojet Engine
the first jet engine was invented by a engish engineer called sir Frank Whittle but it was later invented in Germany by a Dr. Hans von Ohain, but Frank had already patented the jet engine.
well he invented the jet engine because he thought it a good idea.sorry not much help.
A Romanian, Henri Coanda, developed an engine in 1910 that was similar to the modern jet engine. Coanda's engine required an external motor in addition to the jet engine so most people accept that his development is not classed as the jet engine that was later developed by Sir Frank Whittle in Britain. Whittle produced the first jet engine that was self supporting and ran without the aid of external equipment.
The answer is debatable as the modern jet engine as we know it was in development by several parties around the world at the same time.... Popular references suggest the Englishman Sir Frank Whittle invented the engine as he was the first to patent his idea, yet the German Hans Vons Ohain developed the first to fly. Hans Vons Ohain had access to Frank Whittles original design patent.
