When humans first managed to harness heavier-than-air flight, they did so by using piston engines and propellers.
Several decades later, a more efficient means of propulsion was developed. It could make planes travel faster and higher and could use less fuel over longer distances.
In addition to transforming civilian and military aviation, new modes of it still have the potential to revolutionize the world once again.
Learn more about jet propulsion, how it works, and how it was developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
