GE "created the jet engine"? British would disagree

>>delibe+if
Context: "Sir Frank Whittle, an English engineer, is credited with inventing the jet engine. He patented the design for the turbojet engine in 1930, and his work led to the first operational jet engine in 1937. Independently, Hans von Ohain in Germany developed a similar jet engine, with the first flight powered by his design occurring in 1939. Both are recognized for their pioneering contributions, but Whittle's work laid the foundational concepts."

All modern jet engines are based on Ohain's axial flow design, not Whittle's radial flow one. Ohain's engine first ran in 1937. The Heinkel HE178 was the first flying jet airplane, with Ohain's engine.

The Me262 was the first operational jet fighter, again with Ohain's engine.

I think "Ohain's engine concept" would be more correct.

Ohain worked at Heinkel and developed the HeS 011 engine. However, the Me 262 was equipped with the Junkers Jumo 004, which was based on Ohain's design, but developed without him. The first test flights were actually done in 1942 with two BMW Typ P 3302 turbines (later called BMW 003).
