The Development of the Whittle Turbojet [PDF]
Sir Frank Whittle passed away on August 8, 1996, at the age of 89, in Maryland. His work in developing the turbojet can truly be said to represent one of the greatest mechanical engineering achievements in the last 70 years. The development of the turbojet demanded that Whittle face almost insurmountable technical and institutional challenges.

DIAGNOSTIC INVESTIGATIONS OF TURBOJET INJECTORS [PDF]
The basic aim of injectors is to supply a specified amount of fuel to the turbine engine combustion chamber. The fuel should be atomized to the extent which enables its evaporation and helps to produce a homogenous mixture of fuel vapour and air, thus ensuring high efficiency of the combustion process.
