	Jet age - Biocrawler
		The jet age is a common description of an historical period beginning with the introduction of airliners powered by turbojets and turbofans for scheduled passenger service.
		The De Havilland Comet was the first jet airliner to fly a scheduled route in 1952, but the original version of the Comet had serious design problems leading to several highly-publicised crashes, and the entire fleet was eventually grounded (the Comet later reemerged in improved versions).
		The first truly successful jet airliner was the Boeing 707, which began service in 1958 on the New York City to London route; 1958 was also the first year that more trans-Atlantic passengers travelled by airline than ship.

	Who Made America? \| Innovators \| Juan Trippe
		It was the Jazz Age -- the Roaring Twenties -- and Trippe had big plans.
		His next project was to build passenger aircraft using the new jet engines that had been developed during the war.
		Jets could cut travel times in half and carry twice as many passengers.

	The Jet Age
		Power Jets at Lutterworth was purely an experimental workshop and the pilot-build plant at Whetstone, near Leicester would not be established until much later in the war.
		Parts for Whittle Jets were supplied mainly from The British Thomson Houston Company in Rugby, who built large industrial turbines, and from Joseph Lucas in Birmingham.
		Even though Rolls Royce were fully committed to the manufacture of piston engines, they could not help but be intrigued by Rover's gas turbine jet developments, and decided to take a serious interest once the test flights of the 'Wellington Bomber' had proved a success.

	into the jet age - history : Volvo Aero - Global
		During the transition period from piston engine manufacture to jet engine manufacture, there was a short time when it was difficult to provide full employment for the large number of workers.
		The transition from piston engines to jet engines implied radical changes, which had widespread effects on the company.
		Jet engines demanded a new technical approach, which had to be learnt as quickly as possible.

		The overall quality of Machine Age to Jet Age is somewhat marred by occasional, quite obvious misspellings and typographical errors, which tend to detract from the book's contents.
		VOLUME II Volume II of Machine Age to Jet Age (1930-1959) is a welcome supplement to Volume I in part because it has been expanded to cover the earlier years 1930-1932, allowing many more cathedral radios to be included.
		Machine Age to Jet Age, Volumes I and II, by Mark V. Stein are available in 81/2" x 11" paperback format from your local specialty bookseller or directly from the publisher.

	Welcome to the ink-jet age - ZDNet UK
		However, when the engineers at HP Laboratories first developed the ink jet back in 1979 printing was far from being their number one application for the new technology.
		The secret of the ink jet's versatility lies in the ability of manufacturers to drill an array of very small nozzles, just a few micrometers in diameter, in a silicon or composite printhead.
		The ink jet should not therefore be though of as a printer but is a general purpose tool for creating very small precisely measured droplets of liquid.

	Hawker de Havilland - History - Into The Jet Age
		By 1946, DAP had become the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF), and along with CAC and de Havilland Australia, all of the local companies were heavily involved with licence production of military aircraft for the RAAF.
		Immediately preceding this project was the Pika, a piloted version of the Jindivik used to assess the flying qualities of the design.
		Two examples of the Pika were built, and remain the only Australian-designed and built jet aircraft.

	The Seattle Times: Obituaries: George Schairer, 91, key in launching Boeing's jet age
		George Schairer wrote a letter in May 1945 to colleagues at Boeing that historians look back on now as a landmark of the jet age.
		The research was quickly put to test at the Boeing wind tunnel — a facility the company had built years earlier, ahead of other companies, thanks in part to Mr.
		Schairer say his painstaking effort to perfect the aerodynamics of the planes was as important as any other single contribution in leading Boeing into the jet age.

	Jet Set Six: Life in the Jet Age - PopMatters Music Review
		New York-based Jet Set Six burst onto the swing/pop scene with the acclaimed debut CD Livin' It Up in 1998, but John Ceparano promised more pop and less swing second time around.
		Ceparano's contorted riff provides appropriate muscle to some enthusiastic horns, and his energetic solo on "Red Jet Boat" is as unexpected as the Beatles-type rock on the brilliantly titled instrumental "James Bondage".
		Don't get me wrong, Livin' It Up is a good record, and is possibly lyrically sharper, but Life in the Jet Age is a quantum leap away from it in terms of style, adventure and enjoyment.

	Eclipse Aviation - Palwaukee is moving into very-light-jet age
		Very light jets would be able to use all three runways at the airport, which is jointly owned by Wheeling and Prospect Heights.
		The development would remake the southeast corner of the 420-acre airport, an area that currently is home to two small flight schools, a vacant building and a parking lot.
		Very light jets "could be gone in five years, an experiment that didn't work out, but we've still got facilities that work well with the general aviation community that they were designed to service," he said.

		In the most striking experiment, the brain was linked to the jet simulator.
		Manipulated by the electrodes and a desktop computer, it was taught to control the flight path, even in mock hurricane-strength winds.

	Archives - Pages from World Bank History: Into the Jet Age
		In order to handle the expected growth of traffic between 1956 and 1962 the company planned to invest the equivalent of over $60,000,000 in the replacement of a number of its aircraft with larger and more efficient jets, in adding new propeller-driven aircraft and in providing for the necessary ground installations.
		The new jets would reduce the Sydney-London transit time from 48 hours to 27 hours, and transit time across the Pacific from 28 hours to 16 hours.
		In addition to the aircraft, the Air India jet project included radio, galley, and other aircraft auxiliaries; nine spare engines; other initial spares and stores; some overhaul facilities, a test cell and other special equipment; and a flight simulator.

		Certainly, the thoughts of Adm Arleigh Burke are always of interest, and his chapter provides criticism of the centralization of the armed forces and the failure of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stand up to elected politicians during the Bay of Pigs crisis in 1961.
		Into the Jet Age speaks to the evolutionary introduction of new technologies and the failure to address new concepts of warfare and doctrine.
		The self-serving justification of active duty decisions found in many of the extracts does a disservice to these officers, whose oral histories deserve either to have been printed in their entirety or to have been interpreted and explained by a serious scholarly effort.

	MALÉV - The Jet Age
		The first Tu-134 arrived at Ferihegy in December 1968, thus defining the point at which Malév entered the jet age.
		In 1983, several foreign airlines received independent commercial rights in Hungary, and thus Malév was forced to further improve its marketing activities on the domestic market.
		In summary, it is possible to say that the 1980s represented a real "golden age" for Malév, a period when the airline achieved the most.
