Das erste britische Düsenflugzeug. Das erste britische Düsenflugzeug und das dritte weltweit, das erfolgreich in die Luft ging, war die Gloster E.28/39, auch Pioneer oder Squirt genannt. Seine Entwicklung war zweifellos das Ergebnis der Arbeit des Konstrukteurs Frank Whittle und seines Unternehmens Power Jets Ltd. am ersten britischen Düsentriebwerk. Die Entwicklung des Power Jets W.1-Triebwerks begann bereits in den Vorkriegsjahren. Das erste Versuchstriebwerk lief 1937. Im Frühjahr 1939 besuchte Frank Whittle die Firma Gloster und nahm eine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Chefkonstrukteur von Gloster, George Carter, auf. Auch das Luftfahrtministerium unterstützte dies, indem es die Spezifikation E.28/39 herausgab. Sie verpflichtete Gloster, zwei Versuchsflugzeuge zu bauen, um nachzuweisen, dass das Düsentriebwerk in einer Flugzeugzelle funktioniert. George Carter entwarf ein kleines, ganz aus Metall bestehendes Flugzeug mit einem Bugfahrwerk. Nur die Steuerflächen waren mit Stoff bespannt. Das Fahrwerk konnte aufgrund des fehlenden Propellers sehr kurz sein. In der Nase des Flugzeugs befand sich der Ansaugkanal des Strahltriebwerks, der sich vor dem Cockpit gabelte und dahinter zusammenführte. Das Flugzeug war unbewaffnet, obwohl die Spezifikation ursprünglich zwei bis vier 7,7-mm-Maschinengewehre vorsah. Beide gebauten Flugzeuge, W4041 und W4046, hatten weder eine Druckbelüftung im Cockpit noch eine Heizung, und es fehlte ihnen auch eine drahtlose Ausrüstung. Die Flugtests der W4041 begannen am 7. April 1941 mit F/Lt. P. E. G. Sayer am Steuer und die Maschine startete Berichten zufolge während dieser Zeit mehrmals. Der offizielle Erststart fand am 15. Mai 1941 auf dem Stützpunkt Cranwell statt. Die Tests des ersten Prototyps wurden mit mehreren Unterbrechungen bis 1944 durchgeführt, da die Power Jets W.1 und W.1A ständig weiterentwickelt und oft verändert wurden. 1944 erhielt die W4041 einen stärkeren W.2B-Motor und ein modifiziertes Heck mit zusätzlichen Stabilisatoren. Die Maschine flog bis zum Frühjahr 1945 und wurde dann dem Science Museum in South Kensington übergeben, wo sie noch heute ausgestellt ist.
Der Bausatz besteht aus zwei grauen Styrol-Gussrahmen, einem durchsichtigen Kunststoff-Gussrahmen mit der Kabinenhaube, einem Satz Ätzteile und einem Bogen mit Abziehbildern mit Markierungen für den Prototyp in zwei jeweiligen Formen.

Absorbs into the skin well and no irritation so far
I bought this Cyperus Rotundus oil to try out, and the 1.85 oz bottle is a good size for me. The oil has a light botanical scent that is pleasant and not too strong. I have applied it a few times and found that it is very easy to use with the included dropper. It absorbs into the skin well and I have noticed no irritation at all, which is important for my daily routine. The bottle arrived quickly and was packaged securely so there were no leaks. It is a practical addition to my shelf, and the glass container feels solid. This product does exactly what it says on the label and provides a straightforward way to use a natural oil. It is a functional and simple purchase that meets my needs perfectly.

Smooth skin without the post-shave itch
I’ve always had issues with my skin feeling super irritated after I shave my legs, so I started applying this Cyperus Rotundus oil right after hopping out of the shower. The quality of the blend is impressive—it’s got jojoba and almond oil too, so it feels very nourishing rather than just sitting on top of the skin. It absorbs quickly enough that I can put on my leggings and head to the gym without feeling like a greaseball. The functionality as a hair inhibitor is a nice bonus. I’ve noticed the hair on my shins seems to be coming back a bit softer and less stubbly than before. For a 55 ml bottle, the value for money is solid since you only need a few drops to cover a large area. It’s a great find for anyone who deals with that annoying sandpaper feeling a day after waxing. My roommate even started using it on her arms because it’s fragrance-free and doesn't mess with her perfume.

Lightweight oil that fits into a simple routine
I started using this oil as part of my regular skincare routine, mainly applying it to areas like my arms and face after showering. The texture feels light and spreads easily without leaving a heavy residue. I noticed it absorbs fairly quickly, which makes it convenient for daily use. It also has a mild scent that is not overwhelming. I like that it includes plant based ingredients, and it leaves my skin feeling soft after application.

Amazing!!

Amazing product! I have a hormone imbalance and am prone to ingrown hairs, pustules, and very coarse hair on my chin, jawline, and neck. Since using this product, my ingrown hairs have decreased significantly. It works well for me as someone with PCOS. It has a very comfortable scent, but it is very light. I don’t notice the smell after I rub it in. It really works and should consistently use.

soft finish for upper lip and chin area
I pay close attention to fine facial hair, especially around my upper lip and chin area. Under strong lighting, those small hairs can appear more visible, so I have been looking for a gentle way to care for this area without anything harsh or overly complicated. At night, after cleansing my face and completing my basic skincare, I apply this oil as the final step. It feels like a light finishing layer over the skin. I use a very small amount, about one or two drops, warm it between my fingertips, then gently press it onto the upper lip and chin area. There is no stinging sensation, and the scent is very mild, which makes the application feel calm and comfortable. The texture feels lighter than expected. It spreads smoothly and settles quickly without leaving a heavy or greasy film. My skin type leans slightly combination, and in my case it sits well without making the T zone feel overly coated. Even when I follow with a light moisturizer, it layers without pilling and still feels breathable on the skin. After using it regularly every three days in the evening, the change I notice is mainly visual. The fine facial hair looks less pronounced under bright lighting, especially around the upper lip area. The skin surface also appears more even, and when I touch it, it feels smoother and less uneven in texture. These changes feel gradual rather than sudden, becoming more noticeable over time. From a makeup perspective in the morning, my base applies more evenly after cleansing. Foundation tends to sit more smoothly around the chin and upper lip area, without clinging to texture. During humid days, the skin can feel slightly more active in oil balance, but the overall finish still looks even and natural once makeup is applied.
