Nice article, although someone with a strong british agenda added remarks which would be better left out Stephan Schmidt
- Agreed, and that was practically their only addition to my original content. Removing! Maury 13:33, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Wasn't The first American turboprop was the General-Electric T-31?
Scope?
'jet power' is a very broad term.
Rockets, scramjets and the aeolipile are all jet engines.
If the article is about airbreathing jet engines it should probably say so; if it's only about gas-turbine based jet engines then the ramjet stuff needs to go.
But I think the article is talking about airbreathing jet engines, in which case scramjets need to be mentioned.WolfKeeper 15:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

According to the definition in dictionary, Coanda 1910 was a jet plane
Even if Coanda 1910 had used just a ducted fan powered by a piston motor, the overall engine fits the definition of a jet engine. Coanda 1910 used oxigen to burn fuel and produced a backward discharge of gases that pushed the plane forward. This is in the definition of a jet engine.
Coanda 1910 was not a turbojet aircraft but definitely was a jet plane.

Coanda 1910 was a jet engine working in the "Cold Thrust" regime, at least
Cold Thrust - Hot Thrust; Both regimes = jet propulsion
According to this page http://modelingmadness.com/scott/axis/ity/campinipreview.htm Campini Caproni jet plane could fly at 200 km/h using just the compressor, without injecting fuel and igniting the mixture.
"On the cold thrust alone, the Campini Caproni was capable of speeds over 200 kph, however with the addition of the 'afterburner', speeds easily doubled to 400kph."
In case Coanda had not injected and ignited fuel (or exhaust gases from the Clerget engine that turned the compressor) his Coanda 1910 power plant would still have been a jet engine working only in the "cold thrust" regime.
Hobbyists often use cold thrust jet engines (ducted fans powered by piston engines) for their model planes.
