Extra fuel is introduced into the hot exhaust and burned, with a resultant increase of up to 50 percent in engine power by way of even higher velocity and more push. Finally the gases exit rearward via a nozzle whose shape increases velocity of gases and generates more thrust. A turboprop engine used the power and thrust from a jet engine to turn a propeller. As in a turbojet, hot gases flowing through the engine rotate a turbine wheel that drives the compres- BMW 003 E-2 axial-flow turbojet engine (cowling removed).
The Heinkel Company is most closely associated with the He 111, which became a mainstay of the Luftwaffe. Heinkel also provided the Luftwaffe’s heaviest operational bomber, the Heinkel He 177, although this was never deployed in significant numbers. Heinkel was less successful in selling fighter designs. Before the war, the Heinkel He 112 had been rejected in favor of the Messerschmitt Bf 109, and Heinkel’s attempt to top Messerschmitt’s design with the Heinkel He 100 failed due to political interference within the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM—Reich Aviation Ministry).
After high school and engineering studies, Junkers joined the Deutsche Continental Gasgesellschaft in November 1888. In 1890, Junkers founded an experimental laboratory for gas engines, and in October 1892 created his own company at Dessau. In 1906, Junkers was confronted with aircraft aerodynamic design questions for the first time, and in 1908 he produced the first all-metal aircraft. With the outbreak of World War I, Junkers continued research work at Dessau, and in late 1915 the Junkers J1 was designed.
