The jet engine is a great piece of mechanical engineering. It has been used in almost every aircraft since its invention. This improvement in aircraft allowed planes to fly higher, faster, and more efficiently. The turbo engine invented by GE has been the main building block of other engines. Since its invention, the jet engine has been the workhorse for all jet aircraft. General Electric was one of the first companies to build a turbocharged jet engine. GE hired Alexander Moss in 1918 to build an engine with a booster or turbocharger on a piston engine. This caused airplanes to fly higher and faster (General Electric). The first flight of the Liberty 350 horsepower turbocharged aircraft engine took place at Pikes Peak at approximately 14,000 feet during the year 1918 (General Electric). Then, GE built an engine in 1941 based on Sir Frank Whittle's designs and called it the AI ​​engine. This powered the Airacomet Bell XP-59A (General Electric) aircraft. The IA engine had a centrifugal flow supercharger and so did other engines built by GE over the next two years. After I-...
