In the 1930s, as nations braced for war, the German military build up caught Britain and the United States off-guard, particularly in aviation technology. The unending quest for speed resulted in the need for radical alternatives to piston engines. In Germany, Dr. Hans von Ohain was the first to complete a flight-worthy turbojet engine for aircraft. It was installed in a Heinkel-designed aircraft, and the Germans began the jet age on August 27, 1939. The Germans led the jet race throughout the war and were the first to produce jet aircraft for combat operations. In England, the doggedly determined Frank Whittle also developed a turbojet engine, but without the support enjoyed by his German counterpart. The British came second in the jet race when Whittle's engine powered the Gloster Pioneer on May 15, 1941. The Whittle-Gloster relationship continued and produced the only Allied combat jet aircraft during the war, the Meteor, which was relegated to Home Defense in Britain. In America, General Electric copied the Whittle designs, and Bell Aircraft contracted to build the first American jet plane. On October 1, 1942, a lackluster performance from the Bell Airacomet, ushered in the American jet age. The Yanks forged ahead, and had numerous engine and airframe programs in development by the end of the war. But, the Germans did it right and did it first, while the Allies lagged throughout the war, only rising to technological prominence on the ashes of the German defeat. Pavelec's analysis of the jet race uncovers all the excitement in the high-stakes race to develop effective jet engines for warfare and transport.

In April 1941 Britain's first jet left the ground at a grass airfield 4 miles from Gloucester Cathedral. It was the start of a revolution in air travel, military and civilian. During the 1940s Britain's first-ever jet aircraft, the world's first jet fighter in squadron service and the first jet to hold the world air-speed record were all designed, built and flown in the Gloucester and Cheltenham area. The story of Frank Whittle's invention and dogged development of the jet engine is well known. But the account of how his invention was put into the air has never been fully told. This book tells the story of how the men and women of north Gloucestershire made Whittle's engine fly.

In the summer of 1944, as the Second World War drew to a close, an unusual airplane took to the skies over Leipzig-Brandis on its maiden flight. It was the prototype version of the Ju 287 V1, a four-engine jet bomber. With its forward swept wings, the design was a critical milestone in the annals of aviation technology and made the Ju 287 the first swept-wing design in the world. One of the world's most interesting airplanes is revealed through many previously unpublished reports, photographs and drawings. It is an airplane whose revolutionary design played a major role in the postwar development of jet aircraft, in both the East and the West. This book fills a gap in the material covering the first chapter of the jet era.

Fighter jets have remained the traditional backbone & core pivot of the fighting capabilities of Nations & Air Forces globally with their unmatched capabilities for conducting a broad range of critical missions ranging from aerial combat & interdiction, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), ground attack and air dominance/superiority with the doctrine & tactical playbook of aerial warfare having shifted effectively from the erstwhile Dogfighting era to Beyond-Visual-Range engagements propelled by stand-off-range weapons. The surge in global defense spending over the recent years, driven by a rapid deterioration of traditional rule-based world, order has driven a rapid recapitalization of legacy fighter jet aircraft programs as a key priority. It has led to initiation of the development of a bevy of next generation aircraft programs & fast-tracked procurement of current generation jets across most parts of the globe for expansion of military capabilities & rapid build-up of capacity. In term of capabilities, the 5th generation aircraft programs are already proving to be clear favorites to replace the legacy platforms with Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet program spearheading the charge & the generational shift towards stealth. A lot of action is already underway on the technological front with the 6th generation aircraft programs clearly on the anvil, geared towards the future, with their potential EIS' slated for late 2030s. Continental Europe is bracing for & committing itself to the development of two such 6th gen programs, namely, the Franco-German FCAS program and the Tempest program from the U.K.-Italy-Sweden triad. In the U.S., the NGAD program collectively represents the efforts being made towards the development of 6th generation combat aircraft to be powered by the upcoming Adaptive Cycle Engine (ACE) program featuring the third air stream. This work is intended to be a quick yet comprehensive resource on the World's Top Fighter Jet Aircraft Programs with focus on a blend of quantitative & qualitative analysis with a comparative, head-to-head comparison on technical specifications & capabilities, in almost virtual dogfights, for respective aircraft programs (based on classes) followed by comparative analysis based on technical & business perspective. For Military Aviation Buffs, it will be akin to a joyride at high supersonic speeds full of High-G aerobatics, while for the Pros, it will prove to be an unmatched & invaluable domain resource. So, put your gear on and simply Hop in! PS: Aircraft Programs covered: 1. Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle/F-15EX Eagle II 2. Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet 3.

Formed in August 1944, Jagdgeschwader 7 was equipped with the revolutionary Me 262 jet fighter, which was faster than any aircraft in existence at the time. This unit experienced all of the highs and lows associated with the introduction of such a radically new design. Thus the history of JG 7 is also the story of the Me 262, and inspired design which broke new ground in many areas of technology, and for which there was simply not enough time for thorough development. The pilots of JG 7 frequently had to make do with improvisation and faced a numerically far superior enemy in an aircraft which was technically immature. Manfred Boehme has collected many documentary sources including first hand accounts, technical records and photo archives - many of the 150 photos are published here for the first time.
