Frank Whittle
Sir Frank Whittle, OM (June 1, 1907 - August 9, 1996) was a Royal Air Force officer who invented the jet engine. Due to funding and manufacturing problems, Hans von Ohain of Germany was able to beat him to production models, but Whittle's work and tireless efforts to produce his designs given official uninterest are legendary. After the war Whittle and Ohain became good friends.
