Reenactment shows early 20th century U.S. research in gas turbines that contributed to development of turbojet airplane engine
Views of Cornell University where mechanical engineer, Stanford Moss, conducted research into gas turbines as part of his doctoral thesis work in 1903. Dr. Moss later joined the staff of General Electric Company. During World War I Dr. Moss is called to Washington DC to discuss, with the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), development of a turbo supercharger for airplane engines. View of a biplane with turbo supercharger mounted on top of radial engine. Animated diagram illustrating workings of a turbo supercharger. Using a supercharged engine, the U.S. Army Air Services established an altitude record of 36 thousand feet. (The pilot, flying without supplemental oxygen, passes out and doesn't regain consciousness until the airplane has fallen about 30 thousand feet.)
How turbo superchargers facilitate high altitude airplane flight. World War II warplanes equipped with superchargers
General Billy Mitchell wearing fur coat and western style hat. Animated illustration of U.S. Army Martin bomber operating at 15 thousand feet during the famous demonstrations of air power against battleships, in 1921. This was possible because the aircraft engines were supercharged, an outgrowth of Dr. Sanford Moss's developments at General Electric Company.World War 2 scenes of U.S. Army Air Forces aircraft that use supercharged engines: P-51s; P-47s; P-38s; B-24s; B-17s and B-29s. View of atomic bomb explosion.
First flight of Bell YP-59A aircraft. GE develops J-33 jet engine. First flight of Lockheed P-80 jet fighter.
Official films of the flight of Bell YP-59A Airacomet jet-powered airplane, October 1, 1942. Workers at the General Electric plant in Lynn, Massachusetts, producing versions of increasingly more powerful jet engines: the I-16 with 1600 pounds of thrust and the J-33, with 4000 pounds of thrust. First flight, January 8, 1944, of a Lockheed P-80 shooting star fighter jet powered by the J-33 engine. Formation of P-80 fighter planes in flight. (World War 2 period.)
General Electric plant and operations at Lockland, Ohio. Advances in jet propulsion. Jet airplanes of the early 1950s.
Animated illustration of rapid improvements in GE jet engine designs. Views of the GE plant at Lockland, Ohio. Interior of a jet passenger liner airplane, as envisioned in 1951. View of flight attendant or stewardess in uniform, delivering tray of food to a passenger in the cabin of a passenger aircraft in flight. View of Dr. Sanford A. Moss, standing in front of the Collier Trophy, looking at his award certificate, in 1941. The trophy was awarded to him and the U.S. Army Air Corps for development of the aircraft engine supercharger. Discussion of Atomic Energy Commission, U.S. Air Force, General Electric and Convair ideas about building an atomic powered airplane. Views of the GE gas turbine laboratory. Montage of jet aircraft of the early 1950s. Among those seen are: Convair SF-92 delta wing fighter plane; The Chase XCG-20A 4-engine cargo plane; North American F-86 sabrejet; Grumman F9F panther; F-89 Scorpion; and B-36 bomber, plus several unidentified experimental aircraft. Several scenes of B-47s in rocket assisted takeoffs.
