Original sentence: In 1935 Hans von Ohain started work on a similar design in Germany, unaware of Whittle's work.This was the motivation behind the development of the gas turbine engine, commonly called a "jet" engine, which would become almost as revolutionary to aviation as the Wright brothers' first flight
Edited sentence: (see source).After five years, the project was abandonned and Ohain was put to work on turbo jets designed by other engineers.Heinkel employed him to develop this for jet propulsion.In 1935 Hans von Ohain started work on a similar design in Germany, aware of Whittle's work.It is previously thought he wasnt but facts from Ian Whittle, Sir Frank Whittle's son prove otherwise.The 'popular' belief that Von Ohain invented the turbo jet has been generated in America and is unsound history.The German Embassy in London despatched copies of the patent to Germany 1932, then passed them on to an aerodynamics college at Goettingen (Aerodynamic Research Division) 1934/5 which Von Ohain was studying at.This was the motivation behind the development of the gas turbine engine, commonly called a "jet" engine, which would become almost as revolutionary to aviation as the Wright brothers' and later Alberto's Alberto Santos-Dumont's first flights.Von Ohain invented a unique form of internal combustion turbine.despite the fact the flight was'nt particularly successful (it took the Germans 5 years to perfect the technology) it was still the first (jet plane) to be flown
