This program will tell the story of jet propulsion, which has radically transformed our world since it was first introduced near the end of World War II. Weโll trace the development of jet-powered aircraft from the Naziโs first operational fighter, the Me 262, to the supersonic Concorde, to the latest U.S. jet fighter, the F-22 โ and beyond, to the fighters and passenger planes of the future, which will be powered by new jet engines on the drawing boards (like the โscram-jetโ โ designed for a new hypersonic transport plane that would switch to rocket power once outside the earthโs atmosphere).
