The jet engine was not used in World War 1 because it was not developed until World War 2 by the German Luftwaffe Nazis. They used the fast Jets as fighter jets. There were not many used because their jet plane had problems and they had no methods of dealing with the G Forces. The pilots were not well versed in using jets yet and they struggled using the ones that were built. The US, UK and the USSR did grabbed up the jet technology when the war ended.
The jet engine was invented by Frank Whittle (first one ran in April 1937, patent granted in 1932), at roughly the same time von Ohain in Germany came up with the same idea but his early versions couldn't run under their own power (and therefore don't qualify as jet engines) - the first German jet engine ran in September 1937. The Heinkel 178 was the first jet fighter to fly but the RLM (German Air Ministry) decided that jet aircraft weren't needed and cancelled the programme.
The Germans and the British had jet fighters in service (Me 262 and Meteor).
The claim that "The US, UK and the USSR did grabbed up the jet technology when the war ended" is slightly misleading in that all of those natio

ns already had their own jet engines and were developing them more, but ex-German technology was looked at.
What else can I help you with?
When were jet engines invented in World War 2?
Jet engines were invented before WW2. They were used in a few late war German fighters.
What technology was new to World War 2?
Radar, jet engines and atomic bombs.
What the jet aircraft used in World War 1?
No jet aircraft were used in WW1.
Were the b-52 bombers used in Europe in World War 2?
No the B-52 was first released in 1955, the Americans did not use jet-engined bombers in WW2, German technology was more advanced and they did have Jet engines that powered aircraft and flew in the war. So in short NO.
What were some technology advances during World War 2?
the two advances were the aircraft and the tanks

What new technology in World War 2 helped Americans after the war?
Jet engines, rocket power and antibiotics
Did the b-36 jet engines use jet fuel or the same gas as the 4360 engines?
The jet engines used jet fuel, not gasoline as the 6 main engines did.
What the jet aircraft used in World War 1?
No jet aircraft were used in WW1.
What technology for planes was invented in World War 2?
* Compact Radar Systems * Jet Turbine Engines
Are jet engines still used today?
yes they are, they are the engines you see on a 747 or even a small Private jet
What material is used for jet engine?
Steel, titanium and aluminium are all used in jet engines.
Why jet engines are used at high altitudes?
For thrust. Engines are used to overcome the drag of the airplane.
Were the b-52 bombers used in Europe in World War 2?
No the B-52 was first released in 1955, the Americans did not use jet-engined bombers in WW2, German technology was more advanced and they did have Jet engines that powered aircraft and flew in the war. So in short NO.
What is the name of airplane fuel?
Avgas is a common name for fuel used by internal combustion engines in aircraft, while jet fuel is used in jet engines.
Why are jet engines used for jets?
There is no actual answer, because a jet is called a jet because it has at least one jet engine.
