Secondo Campini (born August 28, 1904 in Bologna, died February 7, 1980 in Milan) was an Italian engineer and one of the pioneers of the jet engine.
In 1931 Campini wrote a proposal for the Italian Air Ministry on the value of jet propulsion and in 1932 demonstrated a jet-powered boat in Venice.
Modern jets are based on the turbojet principle, but Campini's jet was nevertheless a true jet, since it was the reactive force of the burning exhaust gasses that pushed the plane along.

The Campini Caproni CC.2 (sometimes referred to as the N-1) was an early jet-powered aeroplane.
In 1931 Italian engineer Secondo Campini submitted a report on the potential of jet propulsion to the Italian Air Ministry, and the following year, demonstrated a jet-powered boat in Venice.
Campini turned to the Caproni[?] aircraft factory to help build the prototypes, and two aircraft and a non-flying ground testbed were eventually constructed.

 Campini-Caproni
Since 1931, Secondo Campini, an aeronautical engineer, had shown to the Ministry of Aeronautics his studies of a new kind of engine, which promised higher speed and greater elevation.
In brief, the schema proposed called for the dynamic collection and compression of air, which, subsequently, would be further compressed by a mechanical device, heated and then expanded through a jet to generate thrust.
For the construction of his machines, Campini contacted the firm "Aeroplani Caproni" of Taliedo, whose owner had been a believer in this new kind of propulsion since the beginning.

 CC-2
On the 5/2/1934 a contract was signed with the Italian Air Ministry to build two prototype aircraft powered by the Campini "Thermojet" (called the C.C.-2) and one fuselage for static tests.
Campini's own company V.E.N.A.R. Did not have the ability to make the aircraft and formed a partnership with the Caproni Company of Taliedo, with Campini in over all responsibility for the design and construction of the C.C.-2 with a contract dead line of 31/12/1936.
No more work was done by Campini on the CC-2 as from 1942 he worked on water-jet powered mini-submarines for the Italian Navy.

 Caproni Campini CC.2
Secondo Campini, the engineer that designed CC.2, was realizing the prototype in the second half of 30s, but the real problem was the building a turbine engine capable of giving the needed thrust.
The apparate had three parts : the anterior compressor (capable of 18.000 RPM), the piston engine (12V Isotta Fraschini 900CV) that moved the compressor, the dynamic duct with anular burner, where the air flux from compressor was accelerated before the arrival in combustion chambers.
The Monoreattore (as Campini called the engine compound), was installed on a special (entirely metallic) fuselage built for this purpose, with low-wing profile and retractile landing gear.

The difference between Campini's and Hamilton's invention are that Campini's waterjet had a very short lifetime in operation due to some unsolved material problems.
Jet boats are highly maneuverable and can often be reversed and brought to a stop within their own length from full speed in a maneuver known as a Hamilton turn.

In this system (called a thermojet by Secondo Campini) the air is first compressed by a fan driven by a conventional piston engine, then it is mixed with fuel and burned for jet thrust.
The examples of this type of design were the Henri Coandă's Coandă-1910 aircraft, and the much later Campini Caproni CC.2, and the Japanese Tsu-11 engine intended to power Ohka kamikaze planes towards the end of World War II.
The key to a practical jet engine was the gas turbine, used to extract energy to drive the compressor from the engine itself.

Campini firmarono un contratto per costruire due aeroplani con motori a reazione e una fusoliera per prove sperimentali; siccome la ditta del progettista non aveva i mezzi sufficienti per realizzare i propri disegni si affilio' alla Societa' Aeroplani Caproni di Taliedo pur rimanendo esclusivamente responsabile della direzione della costruzione, compreso calcolo e progettazione del velivolo.
Inoltre nei turbogetti il rendimento aumenta al crescere di quota e di velocita', mentre i motori alternativi endotermici (come quello di Campini) hanno il loro miglior rendimento al livello del mare e hanno bisogno di un ulteriore compressore per operare ad alta quota, data la rarefazione dell'aria.
Il motore progettato da Campini aveva molti altri difetti, quali il peso, l'ingombro, la complessita' del tipo di motore impiegato per azionare il compressore, il basso rendimento del bruciatore (comunque vicino al limite tecnologico per il suo tempo) e la potenza notevolmente limitata.

The concept was developed by Secondo Campini, an Italian engineer who began studying propulsion systems in the early 1930s.
What Campini did in his thermojet was place a piston engine within an enclosed duct, as illustrated above.
Though Campini's engine was an interesting innovation, it was not as efficient or effective as the turbojet.

 Contradictory Screws - TIME
Because he believes propeller speeds are nearing the upper limit of possible efficiency, an Italian engineer, Secondo Campini, has invented the first successful plane in aviation history to be propelled by a jet of compressed air.
Campini's plane sucks air into its cavernous nose, compresses and heats it in the fuselage, ejects it through the tail—a rocketlike principle, though it is not a real rocket plane, since the propelling jet is not a rush of gases supplied by combustion of the fuel.
Campini's plane weighs 11,000 lb., recently flew from Milan to Rome (300 miles) in 2¼ hours.

Langley's version of the Campini ducted-fan propulsion system was supposed to complement conventional propulsion in the following way: Air was admitted through a frontal inlet into a duct, where the air slowed to practically stagnation pressure.
Until March 1943, when the work was officially canceled, Langley's testing of the Campini engine had the full support of a special NACA committee on jet propulsion and the polite tolerance of the military services.
But they decided against this on the technical judgments (erroneous as they turned out, but not farfetched at the time) that the material and fluid-mechanical problems of the turbine were too intractable and that the extra machinery would simply weigh too much for practical application to an aircraft.

 Jet engine
The earliest attempts at jet engines were hybrid designs, in which an external power source supplied the compression.
In this system (called a thermojet by Secondo Campini) the air is first compressed by a fan driven by a conventional gasoline engine, mixed with fuel, and then burned for jet thrust.
Three known examples of this type of design were the Henri Coanda's Coanda-1910 aircraft, the much later Campini Caproni CC.2, and the Japanese Tsu-11 engine intended to power Ohka kamikaze planes towards the end of World War II.
