NEW YORK – Jet-powered military aircraft were actually first used by the German army at the end of the second world war.
However, with small numbers and jet engine technology at that time not yet fully mature, this jet technology failed to change the defeat of the German army in the war.
Fighter jets began to be widely used during the Korean civil war which occurred between 1950 and 1953, seeing the communists through Russia and China using MiG 15s against UN troops who also used F80C and F86 Saber fighter jets at this time. .
The jet engine in the history of aviation was an important stepping stone, with increased engine power the plane could carry more payload, bombs, fly faster, higher, and have a faster climb rate.
Even jet engines were also widely used for early normal airplanes.
However, if you pay attention, there are still military aircraft that use fans or propellers for defense purposes even though jet engine aircraft are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
For example, the RMAF operates the Airbus A400M Atlas, C130 Hercules, Beechcraft Super King Air, and will receive 2 propeller-powered ATR72 maritime patrol aircraft.
Even though on paper jet engine planes are better, propeller planes still have their own advantages that jet engine planes don't have.
The first is that proller aircraft use more efficient fuel, allowing them to fly farther
