One of the best videos I've seen in a long while. We desperately need some new Sir Stanleys in the UK. The problem is we reward people who own things and administer things (especially if they know some latin!). We are always shy about rewarding people who actually design things.
Whilst there are obvious heroes on the battlefield, there are those who work heroically to empower the battlefield heroes. Imagine our modern life without their efforts.
Sir Stanley Hooked was pioneer in British aeronautical technology and innovation. His genius in aircraft engine design is unmatched and he remains a tribute to aviation engineering not only in England but throughout the world..
The piece of music played to the video of the first jump jet tests is he best combination I've seen/heard on YT yet. Congratulations to the recording persons responsible

Great viewing! Very informative! Sir Stanley was a great engineer
What a fantastic half hours viewing. A brilliant down to earth genius. Watch this please, you'll be educated pleasurably.

Britain has so many heroes in the powerplant arenas.
Never tire of this. His book is awesome
Brilliant man, love this guy.

Incredible Man ❤️
23:45 that footage of a Harrier flying backwards in formation with a bunch of helicopters, never seen that before, awesome.
What a glorious video. Sir Stanley tells a good story.
Sir Stanley was my idol engineer when I was younger. A brilliant engineer who shaped thr jet age as we know it.

Excellent. Thanks.
Great video of a brilliant, yet down to earth man.
My cousin sadly missed.
A quite genius who knew how to work the problem. His work changed the world for all of us.
This video should be compulsory viewing for engineering students today.
Thank you Chuck, really enjoyed the video.
Really good.Should have over 100,000 views.
Excellent video, thanks! You got my sub :)
Damm now i know why he is a "Sir"
Basically the aviation as we know it's his accomplishment.
He invented the turbine jet engine.
He didnt invent it that was Sie Frank Whittle. ..Hooker worked with Whittle on its development though.
