The Whittle lecture was established to honour Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle OM KBE CB FEng HonFRAeS FRS who died in 1996. Sir Frank had the idea of using a gas turbine to produce a propulsive jet directly. He lived to see the abundant fulfilment, for both military and civil aircraft, of the ‘jet revolution’ in which he had played such a seminal role.
