Synopsis
While World War II raged, aviation pioneers like Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain were busy developing the world's first jet engines. But the radical new technology needed jet-powered research aircraft to test and prove its viability. Germany, Italy and Britain all engaged in top-secret jet programmes as they raced to develop the air power of the future. These included the German Heinkel He 178 research aircraft and Heinkel He 280 jet fighter prototype, the British E.28/39 research aircraft built by Gloster, and the remarkable Italian Caproni-Campini C.2. This is the history of the prototypes that paved the way for the world's first jet fighters. Illustrated throughout with full-colour artwork and rare photographs, this fascinating study examines one of the most rapid and revolutionary periods in aircraft development. Throughout the last century, one-off experimental aircraft and cutting-edge military prototypes have pushed the boundaries of what is possible. Authoritative and accessible, X-Planes is the series that explains the technology behind the world's most important prototype and research aircraft, their often dangerous flight-test careers, and how their successes and failures influenced frontline aircraft development. Book jacket., From the Heinkel He 178 to the Caproni Camini N.1, this is the authoritative illustrated guide to the revolutionary aircraft that led to start of the military jet age., From the Heinkel He 178 to the Caproni Camini N.1, this is the authoritative illustrated guide to the revolutionary aircraft that led to start of the military jet age. While World War II raged, pioneering aircraft and engine designers were busy developing the world's first practical jet-powered research aircraft to test and prove the new technology. This book examines the aircraft that paved the way for Germany's Me 262 and Britain's Meteor - the world's first jet fighters. Throughout the war, Germany, Italy, and Britain engaged in top-secret jet programs as they raced to develop the airpower of the future. Various experimental aircraft were trialed in order to achieve the goal of producing an effective engine and fighter that could harness the potential of the jet power. These included the German Heinkel He 178 research aircraft and Heinkel He 280 jet fighter prototype, the famed British E.28/39 research aircraft built by Gloster Aircraft as well as the stillborn E.5/42 fighter and E.1/44 Ace fighter prototype, and finally the remarkable Italian Caproni-Campini N.1/CC 2 research aircraft.
