Book excerpt: During the Second World War, following the development of the jet engine by Sir Frank Whittle, the Rover Car Company became involved in the development of Whittle's gas turbine powered jet engine. As a result of this work, and following the end of the war, the company's engineers turned their attention to using gas turbines for cars and commercial vehicles. Noel Penny, one of Rover's engineers grew steadily enthusiastic about the gas turbine's potential and later became in charge of the company's work. Following on from Jet 1 and other later designs, his attention turned from cars to heavy trucks and, when Rover became part of British Leyland, Penny found himself in charge of Leyland Gas Turbines Ltd.Then Penny had the opportunity to found his own company and gained work from Caterpillar Inc. in the USA. His business designed other small gas turbines for aircraft. This book, while being Penny's story, also covers the work of other companies including Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Mack and Volvo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a behind-the-scenes look into the world of automotive research and development in the 1960s, this engaging narrative traces the birth of Chrysler’s alternative “jet” car and reveals the story behind its sudden and mysterious demise. Relying on extensive research and firsthand accounts from surviving members of the turbine car program—including the metallurgist who created the exotic metals for the engine and the test driver who drove it at Chrysler's proving grounds—this chronicle documents the bold development of an automobile with a jet turbine engine. In addition to running well on virtually any flammable liquid—including kerosene, vodka, heating oil, and Chanel N°5 perfume—the pioneering engines had one fifth the number of moving parts and required less maintenance than conventional engines. Despite the fleet’s amazing performance over millions of miles by test drivers, Chrysler pulled the plug on the project and crushed almost all of the cars. The reasons behind the surprising end to the jet car fleet are finally explained here.
