Inside Britain's Newest Jet
Known simply as the Gloster E.1/44, Britain's newest jet fighter may take the
laurels away from the record-breaking Gloster Meteor. Although it has been flown,
no performance data have been released. Powered by a single Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet
engine of 5,000 lb. thrust, it breathes through twin "nostril" intakes. The cutaway
below shows the design problems involved in building a jet fighter.
