Default RE: Maximum altitude??

Aha, good job then I overlooked that you had taken thinner air into account.
Well thought =)

No, my real name isn't Von Ohain.
I choose the name because at the time I registered here, I had an interest of scratch building gas turbines.
and i picked the name in honor of the gas turbines inventor.
I believe Whittle is given too much credit, and Von Ohain is given far too little credit for inventing a much more sophisticated gas turbine, independently at the same time.
