The Amazing World of Aviation - Season 1 Episode 6 Episodio 6
In 1966, British aviation expert Sir Frank Whittle was honoured for his services to the aviation industry. Twenty-five years earlier, the aeronautical engineer had invented the jet engine, and ushered in a new era of air travel. On May the 15th, 1941, the first experimental flight using Whittle's engine took off over Cranwell, England and flew for 17 minutes, at a top speed of 545km per hour. It was the beginning of a revolution that would affect the very nature of aviation itself.
