Abstract
AUTHOR'S NOTE In the comparatively short space of five years, the turbine power unit has established itself on military types, and its employment is now being extended to civil aircraft. Already the modern gas turbine is available in units of far greater power than are obtainable with orthodox reciprocating engines. After the successful early stage of development of turbine-jet units, the industry is now engaged on a second phase comprising turbines driving air-screws, which give improved...

I have included a very brief account of my life prior to my practical work on the turbo-jet engine, in order that the reader may have some idea of the nature of the soil in which the seed of an idea took root and flourished. I have been unable to resist the...
