Hans von Ohain's gas turbine-driven V centrifugal flow jet propulsion engine

摘要

Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain, born in Dessau, Germany on December 14, 1911, is recognized as one of the joint inventors of the aircraft jet engine. Although his engine design was penned later than Sir Frank Whittle's patent, he got his design into the air earlier. In 1935 Von Ohain was awarded a PhD in physics and aerodynamics from the University of Gottingen, where he created a plan for a propeller-less engine.
