Whittle ran his engine a month before Ohain. This is according to both Whittle and Ohain. After Whittle ran his engine everybody who saw and heard it suddenly became extremely interested..Maybe they should have given a bit more support before instead of leaving him to make it by himself in a garden shed.😸 Ohain ran his first engine on hydrogen and it was a dead end design. The Junkers and BMW engines were miles ahead technically.

I was looking up numbers and wondered about the P&W JT8D, and that on its own had nearly 15000 built. The JT8D is the civilian development of the J52 which I can't find numbers for..So it might be cheating a bit but I'd bet it ran the J47 close if the 8D was included.

@@Muonium1 Mayor Gary McCarthy used lawyers to take away our public space because he wanted his mafia friends to get rich on turning our building into residential condos and yet another restaurant. Welcome to corruption in America, the Italian mob is still alive and well and has the levers of small city government.
