Frank Whittle invented the jet engine and was the first to run a working model of it on the bench. However, his plans were published in a German magazine called Das Flugel and and an engine was built using Whittles plans there and put into a plane that actualy flew first. Whittle finally recieved funding and so could then fit his engine into a plane and the Glouster Meteor was the result. Therefore, Whittle invented and patented the engine first, and built the first working model, though the Germans built the first jet powered plane.
