Episode: Jet Propulsion
Description: When humans first managed to harness heavier-than-air flight, they did so by using piston engines and propellers.

In addition to transforming civilian and military aviation, new modes of it still have the potential to revolutionize the world once again.Learn more about jet propulsion, how it works, and how it was developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.Sponsors
