		Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain conceived the idea for jet propulsion in 1933 when he realized that the great noise and vibrations of the propeller piston engines seemed to destroy the smoothness and steadiness of flying.
		Von Ohain was born in 1911 in Dessau, Germany.
		In 1956, while von Ohain was serving with the Aeronautical Research Laboratory as a group leader, the Directorate of Research of the Wright Air Development Center asked him to make a survey study of trends and research objectives in the field of energy conversion and propulsion.

	Interesting Engineering Event (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Whittle and von Ohain both came to the conclusion that if very high speeds were to be combined with long distance, it would be necessary to fly at very great heights where the low air density would greatly reduce wind resistance, and in turn increase speed.
		Von Ohain realized that further development was beyond his personal means and he would have to find outside support.
		If Whittle and von Ohain could have communicated with each other or at least been aware of each other’s projects, they would have had a much easier time in getting support from their respective governments, since it would be that it isn’t just one person’s crazy idea.

		Von Ohain was born into an aristocratic family that recognized early that their son’s talent was in science rather than military service.
		Von Ohain is enshrined in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, the National Aviation Hall of Fame, the International Aerospace Hall of Fame in San Diego, and the Engineering and Science Hall of Fame in Dayton.

		Von Ohain’s Professor R W Pohi sent him immediately to see Heinkel, who, after a day-long hearing with his chief designers, hired von Ohain and Hahn to make a jet engine to put in an aeroplane.
		Von Ohain certainly knew of Whittle’s work before this, but, after the war, both he and Whittle accepted that they had worked entirely independently of one another and the basic designs were the outcome of an amazingly precocious example of simultaneous invention.
		It was clear that von Ohain admired Whittle greatly and testified to me that, had he had the Englishman’s struggle to contend with he would never have completed a jet engine.

		Von Ohain continued to develop the design and on August 27, 1939, the Heinkel He-178 experimental aircraft, powered by his centrifugal-flow HeS-3b engine, made the world's first turbo-jet powered flight.
		As World War II progressed, Von Ohain abandoned the concept of the centrifugal compressor and began developing the axial flow compressor.
		Von Ohain moved to the United States in 1947 under contract with the Air Force to research advanced air breath-ing propulsion systems.

		Meanwhile, German engineer Hans von Ohain had begun his own independent studies of jet propulsion in the early 1930s while working on his doctorate at Göttingen University.
		von Ohain had completed a working model of his engine by 1935 and approached Ernst Heinkel about building an aircraft to test such a device.
		Detailed work to design and build both a more powerful engine and a suitable airframe began in 1937, and von Ohain's engine was the first jet to fly when the Heinkel He 178 took to the air on 27 August 1939.

		DAYTON, Ohio -- The death of Hans von Ohain, who changed aviation history with the co invention of the jet engine, has saddened his colleagues at the University of Dayton who remember the soft-spoken engineer as an ingenious inventor and an inspirational educator who always had time for students.
		Von Ohain and Sir Frank Whittle, who worked independently to develop the jet engine, received the medal and a $375,000 prize in 1991 from the National Academy of Engineering.
		Then a 21-year-old graduate student in physics at Germany's University of Goettingen, von Ohain envisioned a propellerless plane that could fly higher, faster and smoother by using a gas turbine engine rather than pistons.
