      I don't think it's a million miles off the level of precision & accuracy needed for making modern car engines - it's just the context & use that makes it seem more amazing (car engines are mundane).

    *_Former Boeing Everett. I have been up close and personal with GE9x Mega Turbofans._*
    Front main fan is 12 feet in diameter and won't fit inside most houses. It would stick out through the attic and roof. Standing in front of one of these massive jet engines is an awe inspiring experience. It's used on 777 and 787 aircraft.
    These engines can produce125,000 pounds of thrust, enough for a single engine to lift aircraft and make emergency return to airport if other engine quits. It has more than enough power to take it across open water to nearest airport in case of emergency.
    *_2 of the GE9x's have almost as much power as the 4 smaller ones used on 747._*

When you consider the fact that tens of thousands of civilian and military jet engines are running all over the world every single second of the day - its truly mind boggling how the oil companies can drill, refine and transport 100 billion gallons of this fuel each year just to meet the needs of the aircraft industry alone. Thats about 275 million gallons of jet fuel consumed each and every day. That is a staggering amount of refined kerosene thats needed just to meet average daily consumption!

      When you compare the fuel used on a modern jetliner like the 777 against the amount of work that can be accomplished, it’s not a bad compromise. If compared to doing that with another mode of transportation in a given time span. Fuel cost per passenger per mile for example, many modern jets put up a good number, or the immense amount of cargo a 777 can carry, which is 100 tons with a range of 9,200 km. (A Boeing 767 only 50 tons). Yes it burns a lot of fuel, but to move that cargo by other means in a timely manner, what do the alternatives require.

    Perhaps your writer wanted to say that High Bypass Turbofans for airliners did not arrive until the 1970s with the introduction of the wide-body airliners like the 747. Turbofans were introduced for airliners just a few years after the Boing 707 first flew commercially. Those were low bypass turbofans in the late 1950s jetliners that were in use, and for a very good reason; fuel economics. Also the first airliners that used the turbojet engines were both smoky and very noisy on take-off.
    I was an ear and eye witness to the first flight of the Convair 880 in San Diego so I can attest to to that. Those aircraft used water injection systems (the dark smoke) which cost them the weight of some seats they could sell, and even those earlier, lower bypass turbofans were much more fuel efficient and a bit quieter.

    Even more to the "Game Changer" point, by Aviation standards, Reliability trumps over Power or added range. Jet Turbines are Much more reliable than Reciprocating Engines. Parts rotate in a Jet vs the mix of back & forth linked to round & round parts in a Recip that must all be timed to run together. I worked for a U.S. Major commercial air carrier for 3+ decades, first as a mech, then into maint Inspection and finally in the Propulsion Shop (we flew Jets & Turboprops). That said, like many I've met in the industry who really enjoy Airplanes, I've built/flown every type of model Radio Control aircraft there is to fly. I started w/ recip R/C Helicopters (up to a competition level), eventually moved into fixed wing, gliders and then 1/4 Scale. Where I'm going w/ this is that as much as I love my Recip powered A/C & Heli's, the Electrics have taken over as the most reliable w/ the least maint. I have made it a point to learn, troubleshoot and make my Methanol powered recips as reliable as possible thru preventative maint and good care, but the Electrics win every time when it comes to Reliability And Power to Weight (wing loading). If the power density & safety issues w/ batteries can be overcome & made to fit commercial aviation, Electric engines will replace Jets & Recips for their simplicity and Reliability. I think that day isn't too far off.

    1:37 Right, they became bigger and bigger and there were more incidents of exploding engines of passenger planes. Somehow present jet engines appear to be very frail.

      That is incorrect. More exposure from news and social media only makes it seem that way.
      But please tell me, how you would hold up at 50000g, as some parts in airplane engines do.

      The original 747 engines had an in flight shutdown rate of something on the order of 100 per million flight hours. The current 777 engines are more like 1. Modern engines are extremely reliable.

      technically incorrect, ever heard of ETOPS? Hint: timeline the history of twin engine operational reliability and report back please. double hint: light years improvement, that's why the 747 is going out of production.
