To increase the thrust of gas turbine engines, their efficiency and, most importantly, reliability has allowed us to start building the first jet Airliners. Their success, despite a number of mysterious, at first glance, the disaster was huge, and overcome the “sound barrier” military aircraft and even gave rise to the opinion that passenger planes may have to fly faster than sound.

However, the reality was much more complicated.
