The bit about no longer being allowed forward into the flight deck of an Aircraft is such a great shame.

The Jeremy Clarkson envy is palpable here - again. He is a very, very successful gentleman that happens to present; perhaps the most popular TV program on the air today. Knock him all you want - he is living the dream and if that upsets you - who gives a shit.
Of course when you leave America and go back into the free world... That statement makes me so incredibly sad. Not because it's not true, it totally is, but at one point, America would have been considered the free world. Now it's cops with M4s and getting a good grope to get on a plane.
Kovarian Moving into a new dark age, instead of religious dark age it is a financial one. Avenues of idea and invention are restricted based on monetary gain.
fun wittle fact , his engine was called a centripetal flow engine , where the air is spun at high speed , all jets now days use " axial flow " where a series of progressively smaller fans force the air along the engine and squeezed in to a smaller hole while being sped up , a turbo fan is a small axial flow engine turning a big ducted fan , and a turbo prop is a axial flow geared to turn a propeller
As much as he praises the Jet, the fact of the matter is that Prop aircraft are still used in training/close airport roles. Their also used a ton for civilian aircraft and allot of less developed parts of the worlds use prop transports.
What I find funny is the fact that everybody in the comments claim that THEIR country was the birthplace of these inventions, you do know that by doing so you're proving yourself wrong. People don't seem to understand that historical facts change depending on the country you live in due to pure patriotism
fun 707 fact , qantas actually scored the first 707s before pan am and after they were retired from civil use they were used in the RAAF and only retired in 2008 , john travolta is a qualified 707pilot and actually purchased an ex qantas 707
A jet is a type of gas turbine engine, other types are turbo fan (modern thrust producers), turboprop (uses a propeller for trust) and turbo shaft (torque producer) all of which are better in every way than a jet. I find it hard to believe that simple vapor trails increase temperatures more than .0000000000001 degrees. And until Airbus stops having a reputation for extremely high maintenance I think boeing will be just fine.
Thinking how so many of the Boeing 747-400s shown will be history by the end of 2015 is making me feel old! However the vision about the unsuccessful 'scramjet' concept is hilarious ... Nobody could travel SYD - LHR in two hours. Wouldn't withstand the resultant forces on the human body :o)
so... coanda did have the idea, design,... but the first recorded flight in a jet plane was in 1938, as told by clarkson Coandă's colleague at Huyck Corporation, G. Harry Stine-a rocket scientist, author and "the father of American model rocketry"-stated in his book The Hopeful Future that "there were several jet-propelled aircraft in existence at an early time-the Coandă-1910 jet and the 1938 Caproni Campini N.1, the pure jet aircraft flight was made in Germany in 1938". Rolf Sonnemann and Klaus Krug from the University of Technology of Dresden, mentioned in passing in their 1987 book Technik und Technikwissenschaften in der Geschichte (Technology and Technical Sciences in History) that the Coandă-1910 was the world's first jet. Between 1911 and 1914, he worked as technical manager of the Bristol Aeroplane Company[1] in the United Kingdom, where he designed several aeroplanes known as the Bristol-Coanda Monoplanes. In 1912 one of these aircraft won a prize at the British Military Aeroplane Competition. In 1915, he returned to France where, working during World War I for Delaunay-Belleville in Saint-Denis, he designed and built three different models of propeller aeroplane, including the Coandă-1916, with two propellers mounted close to the tail. This design was to be reprised in the 1950s Sud Aviation Caravelle transport aeroplane, for which Coandă was a technical consultant. In the years between the wars, he continued traveling and inventing. In 1934 he was granted a French patent related to the Coandă Effect. During early 1930 he used the same principle as the basis for the design of a disc-shaped aircraft called Aerodina Lenticulara, a "flying saucer" that used an unspecified source of high pressure gases to flow through a ring-shaped vent system. In 1936 Coandă applied for a patent for his design.[10] No practical full-scale version was built.
Silly Jeremy I would love to see you fly in a Scramjet ^.^ remember that lovely fighter jet you don't like? you get to do that twice as fast just to start your engine before the real ride hehe.
I don't have any probs liking this guy. Especially his war docs. Wished he'd do more war docs like the Victorian Cross winners. Great stuff as far as I am concerned.
@@fredschriks8554 I’ve heard that’s how the game boy got invented when one of the creators was on a flight and saw a guy playing on a calculator and then in 1989 the game boy was made.
Jeremy is keen to give credit for every invention to britain. He 178 was the world's first jet plane and it was German.Han van ohain made the first ever jet engine. Many of the british inventions are traced back to other Europeans,most Germans,Britain mostly introduced them to the english speaking world.
Celsius Scale Except Whittles designs were patented a few years before van ohains designs and were available to van ohain.....He178 was the first jet plane though
get over yourself everything that you see today is a continuity from the past ...zillions of things have been invented by other cultures infact the english language itself is french and latin and greek ...but currently in the english speaking world the contributions of everyone else is being downplayed by the idiot jeremy clarkson ...go pick up the english dictionary and start looking the the origin of every english word in the dictionary you will be surprised ...this is one example of how english take other things and make it their own ...
dude get your facts right first.You are talking bs ,,the english language is 30 percent french 30 latin 12 greek and very less english go learn history first
Watching this 10 years on makes me see how much the world has gone to f... TEN YEARS AGO social media on the smart phone was just getting going. I wonder is there any connection?
Analysis since this program was made has shown that the windows really weren't what caused Comets to break up. The entire aluminium skin was simplyb made too thin to handle the repeated pressurization cycles.
No mention of Maxime Guillaume, who invented and even patented the concept of the jet engine in 1921, 7 years before whittle even presented the idea. How odd.
canicheenrage Clarkson's ' Inventions That Changed The World ' serie was made for British audience only.. His extremely biased conclusions are based on his own private opinion and has ZERO validity for the rest of the human race outside Britain .LOL
canicheenrage I suppose the issue been that Maxime Guillaume never really piratically perused the idea. The Patent was nothing really more then theory on the matter with little piratical design. It seems logical to mention the first jet as the first jet engine actually built.
Crag_r Well, yes and no. To be considered the inventor, you have indeed to have the concept, and a practical way of production. The french patent has a detailed, "working" turbojet, with all components (worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/originalDocument?CC=FR&NR=534801&KC=&FT=E ) . What it doesn't have, is materials usable for the construction, which didn't exist at the time, and were not researched. It also hasn't a tested, working prototype. Whittle is the practical inventor of the jet engine. But not mentioning the concept being published in detail 9 years earlier is just rubbish.
I am so happy that Jeremy is so grateful for the USA making it evan possible that he is still speaking english . But then what would you expect from him .
fun comet fact , when the comet was deemed a heba they were remodeled in to the minrod early warning anti submarine roll for the RAF and served till the late 90s ,,,,, from memory might have been a little later
Coanda developed a ducted fan system driven by a four cylinder engine. Not a jet engine as the first jet engines were of the non-bypass type. Modern jet engines are known as high bypass with the "jet" part providing some thrust but drives a ducted fan for most of the thrust.
DjCerbOriginal Liquid fuel rocket engines were first developed by the American Robert Goddard and not by Coanda. His first successful test flight was made March 26, 1926. Wernher Von Braun was only 14 years old when Goddard started launching liquid fueled rockets. Goddard sought funding from the US Military who refused funding because liquid fueled rockets took time and effort to prepare them for launch while solid fuel rockets could be set up and fired in a matter of minutes.
Well, whether that thing actually flew or not seems to be quite controversial. It probably didn't. But he definitely had the right idea and was ahead of his time in that regard. One might wonder what he could've done with a large budget and staff.
He built a piston engined vacuum cleaner with wings, that never flew (and as a result wasn't destroyed in a crash, as he claimed) And then once the jet was a working reality, he pointed a finger at it, and claimed he made one 1st. There is no evidence whatsoever to support any of his outrageous claims on the subject. He was, no doubt a very cleaver man, and he did some great work, but design the jet.... no, he didn't.
44:50 Way to go Jeremy. 3 billion passengers flown every year with less than 3000 killed in accidents, yet you just show the crashes.... From many many different years by the way. You are 1000 times more likely to be killed in a car accident driving to the airport than you are to die in a plane crash.
It's tough flying round the world in Business/First class isn't Jeremy. Try Cattle class like the rest of us then you'll have something to moan about !
I once flew from my home in Singapore to Frankfurt, drove to Stuttgart for a meeting then back to Frankfurt then back to Singapore the same day, no shower, it was nasty
Hunter Whisler Alvin M. Johnston in a 707 did it at lake Washington, Seattle in August1955 almost 14 years before the 747 was introduced to the world. Believe Max Wils should be right on this one.
"An American flight, therefore nasty food", as if British airline food (or British cuisine, for that matter) would be any better. This being said, Clarkson's good.
Shame, if De Havilland had made the windows of the Comet round then Britain would no doubt still dominate the Aerospace Industry today. Although a lot of people don't know that Britain does still play a major part having the 2nd or 3rd (depending on means of measurement) largest aerospace industry............. in the world
