Despite several jet and rocket-powered ᴀɪʀᴄʀᴀғᴛ appearing during the second World War, turbo fans didn’t become the preferred method of propulsion until the 1970s.

From the first test to the last flight, these ᴊᴇᴛ engines are always under close supervision. Both commercial airliners and military ᴊᴇᴛs have engine maintenance schedules.
