It was installed in his Coandă-1910 but this craft probably never flew. Rocket-powered jet aircraft were pioneered in Germany. The first aircraft to fly under rocket power was the Lippisch Ente, in 1928. The Ente had previously been flown as a glider. The next year, in 1929, the Opel RAK.1 became the first purpose-built rocket plane to fly. The "turbojet", was invented in the 1930s, independently by Frank Whittle and later Hans von

The plans specified a Rotax 503 ultralight engine, but they intended to use the more powerful and lighter Rotax 583 engine before a similar lighter unnamed engine was substituted. The concept of jet packs appeared in popular culture, particularly science fiction, long before the technology became practical. Perhaps the first appearance was in pulp magazines. The 1928 cover of "Amazing Stories" featured a man flying with a jet pack. When

Japan had some experimental models, such as the Nakajima J9Y "Kikka", but none saw operational use. The plans for the first operational jet fighter, the Messerschmitt Me 262 "Schwalbe" were drawn up in 1939, and the airplane first flew under jet power in 1942.

German meteorologist Heinrich Seilkopf is credited with coining a special term, "Strahlströmung" (literally "jet current"), for the phenomenon in 1939. (Modern German usage is ""Strahlstrom"".)
