As with many other inventions, no one person can lay claim to inventing the jet airplane. As far back as ancient China and Greece, inventors and scients have devices that eventually made the jet airplane possible. However two people can be credited with the modern jet aircraft we know of today: Frank Whittle of England and Hans Von Ohain of Germany developed simoultaneously the jet forerunners of the powerful jet engines that we know today. These two scientist worked on their engines in and perfected them in the mid to late-1930s but it wasn't until almost the end of WW-2 that the first actual jet aircraft become operational; the German Me-262 and the British Gloster Meteor. I have omitted the mention of rocket-powered aircraft but they too contributed to jet aircraft.
