Pistons to Jets 75th Year of Naval Aviation Part 2: Understanding the Evolution of Technology for Human Survival Introduction: The world of aviation has witnessed tremendous technological advancements over the past century, with the naval aviation industry being no exception. As we celebrate the 75th year of naval aviation, it's essential to delve into the evolution of technology and its impact on human survival. This article will explore the development of piston-engine aircraft to jet engines, highlighting the significance of understanding this technological progression for the future of humanity. We will also discuss the need for a personal paradigm to perceive the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for survival in a warring state. Evolution of Technology: From Pistons to Jets The early days of naval aviation saw the use of piston-engine aircraft, which were powered by reciprocating engines that used pistons to compress air and mix fuel, resulting in a controlled explosion that generated thrust. These engines were reliable and efficient but had limitations in terms of speed and altitude. The introduction of jet engines revolutionized aviation, offering faster speeds and higher altitudes, making long-distance flights possible. Jet engines use turbofans to compress air and mix fuel, producing a more powerful and efficient thrust.
