The jet engine made the world smaller by making travel time shorter. Also,helped to get humans into outer space. These are just a few things the jet engine did.
The first jet aircraft was the Heinkel He178 flown in 1939.
You're probably thinking of Rolls-Royce--one of the biggest jet engine manufacturers--but the first real jet engine was built by the Heinkel airplane company in 1935.
A reciprocating engine is different than when using rotors. Rotors are used in a pistonless rotary engine, using one or more rotors and sometimes called rotary pistons.
The Thunder Jet was the standard engine in the Cobra. There were 7,675 Cobras made in 1970. I cannot find a breakdown on how man came with the standard Thunder Jet engine and how many came with the Cobra Jet & Super Cobra Jet engines.
The jet engine? 1. There are theoretical limits to the speed of propellor-driven aircraft. 2. There are practical limits to the power of propellor propulsion. 3. Piston engines, for given output, are large, and need cooling. The jet engine can propel aircraft at supersonic speeds, can be scaled up to very large powers, especially by using fan/ bypass technology, and the jet turbine can be made self-cooling by the large volumes of air it consumes. One example of a jet turbine's superiority over piston engines is the Chinook helicopter, which uses two turboshaft (jet engine with a shaft connection) to drive its large rotors. This design is superior to using piston engines.
Because it is a strong metal and can withstand the tremendous temperatures created the jet engine.

The first jet engine was made was in 1930 by Frank Whittle, but it didn't fly until 1941. Han von Ohain made one in 1936 and it flew in 1939.
