Dezember 1911 in Dessau; † 13. HANS JOACHIM PABST VON OHAIN, inventor of the first turbojet aircraft engine that powered an aircraft, died on March 13, 1998.

1 He and Dr. Herbert Wagner are the father's of the jet engine. Jet Engines - Hans von Ohain and Sir Frank Whittle → Von Ohain was born in 1911 in Dessau, Germany. Encyclopaedia Britannica → "Hans von Ohain is considered the designer of the first operational turbojet engine." The first flight of his He S 3B engine was made in Marienehe, Germany, on August 27, 1939. "Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain, (born Dec. 14, 1911, Dessau, Ger.—died March 13, 1998, Melbourne, Fla., U.S.), German designer of the first operational jet engine." Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (* 14. März 1998 in Melbourne, Florida) war ein deutscher Physiker und Erfinder. Dr. Hans-Joachim Pabst von Ohain, "father of the gas turbine engine," beside his He S 3A jet engine which he invented, developed and successfully tested in 1936. His HeS 1 design was the first self-contained jet engine to run, and the later HeS 3 was the first to power an all-jet aircraft. Er ist der Erfinder des im weltweit ersten strahlgetriebenen Flugzeug verwendeten Strahltriebwerks. Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (December 14, 1911 – March 13, 1998) was one of the inventors of jet propulsion. Hans von Ohain was a German airplane designer who obtained his doctorate in physics at the University of Göttingen in Germany, later becoming the junior assistant to Hugo Von Pohl, director of the Physical Institute at the university. Dr. Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain conceived the idea for jet propulsion in 1933 when he realized that the great noise and vibrations of the propeller piston engines seemed to destroy the smoothness and steadiness of flying.
