Hi Zippoit

Good idea, heres one I like with some nice details that normally we do not see.

watch the V1 air launch and note the Lorin ram jet and the first tip jet helicopter

Awsome stuff!!! Those first few engine cutaways were interesting, the way they ducted the air and such. Good all around, cool looking planes too, dunno if I would strap into an experimental jet with experimental engines at the birth of the jet age; the one with the 2 pj's looks like a wild ride.

Interesting indeed! A lot of the early centrifugal engines look amazingly similar to John Wallis' "Fat Mumma" gas turbine. :)
