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.

How many cylinders of jet engines?
None. Jet engines don't have cylinders. While Jet engines don't have cylinders they have combustors (which can also be called combustion chambers). Due to turbulence and other problems early jet engines had multiple small combustors, most modern jet engines have only one large combustor as it is simpler to build. some jets have combustion 'cans' which are cylinders but have no moving parts within
