A jet airliner is characterized by its propulsion through jet engines rather than the older model propeller planes. Jets also achieve optimal efficiency at high altitudes compared to propeller models. The history of how the jet airliner came into existence is an intriguing background that explains why jets have become the most popular form of fast, long-distance travel.

The concept of the jet engine was initially conceptualized by Frank Whittle of Britain. As an officer in the British Air Force, he proposed his idea to his superiors. However, the idea did not come to fruition until the late 1930s when the Germans took off with the concept of jets and jet propulsion. The British later recognized the value of the idea for their war efforts and built their first operational model in 1941.

It was the Germans who first brought an operational jet model, called the Messerschmitt Me 262, into the air. It was introduced during World War II as a turbojet for combat, bombing, and intercepting enemy aircraft. Subsequently, the Germans further improved their development and introduced a faster, rocket-powered jet called the Messerschmitt Me 163.

Over the years, the British, Germans, and Americans have continued to advance jet technology. Jets have become a primary mode of transportation for travelers’ needs. Commercial jets allow for travel to different continents within hours. Don’t want to spend several hours driving to a nearby city? Hop on a jet and reach your destination in just an hour or two. Commercial jets, including jumbo jets, are like floating cities in the sky, providing multiple decks with facilities to accommodate weary travelers during long flights.

Modern jets cruise at speeds close to the speed of sound. The term “mach” is used to measure the speed of jets. Sound travels at approximately 420 to 580 miles per hour. Jet speeds are indicated as a percentage of the speed of sound. Many jets travel at 0.75 to 0.85 Mach or, more specifically, 75% to 85% of the speed of sound. Interestingly, jets that travel faster than sound are heard after they are seen.

The fastest jet to date is NASA’s unmanned X-43. With a Mach speed of 9 to 10, this sleek black bullet travels at hypersonic speeds and is appropriately called a scramjet. Its initial goal was to achieve speeds greater than Mach 7, which was successfully surpassed in 2001 during its first flight at Mach 9.

Finally, the most iconic jet to date is NASA’s space shuttle. This jet’s engines exemplify technology by propelling humans into space. The amount of energy required to propel such a large, massive jet into space is astronomical. The powerful rocket boosters of the space shuttle jet provide twelve million Newtons of thrust at liftoff. One particular advantage of these boosters is that they are reusable. Once the space shuttle jet reaches a high altitude, the boosters detach from the jet, deploy parachutes, and safely land in the ocean, where NASA recovers them for future space missions.
