Sir Frank Whittle patented his design in 1930 and built a jet engine which first ran in 1937, Hans von Obain patented his design in 1936 and built and ran one also in 1937, but 5 months after Whittle had built his.

Hans von Obain's invention that powered a specially built Heinkel in August 1939. Sir Frank Whittle's similar (and arguably the more successful design) first flew in a Gloster in May 1941. That engine was dubbed the "W1" and the aircraft was a "Pioneer"
