When the Wright Brothers dreamed of flying like birds; a powered, heavier-than-air flying machine, known as the Wright Flyer, powered by a 12 Hp gasoline engine made of Aluminum block; effectively enabled them to realize their dream in 1903 while also ushering in the ’Age of Flight’ for humans. That rudimentary machine & engine paved the way for the development of larger piston engines & propeller powered fighters which proved to be instrumental during the World War I & II and later gave way to the emergence of turbojets (during the final years of World War II) and ultimately had their metamorphosis into turbofans by the middle of the last century.
The initial human quest to fly like birds, thus, quickly & effectively turned into the need to move from Point A to Point B efficiently & in the quickest possible way, via air, especially in the post war-era. It got a tremendous impetus following the onset of the Jet Age in the 1950s propelled by the turbofans powered commercial jets. However, the jet age, too, like earlier, brought with it multiple, high stakes Technology Wars and R&D Dogfights for market domination & supremacy fought bitterly among the major aircraft OEMs as well as Engine manufacturers. These contests effectively translated into lasting victories, leading to establishment of duly sustained market dynasties for some, while some others lost their early-mover advantages, way & initial market successes completely by failing to capitalize on them owing to parallaxes, average strategic choices & moves which were further accentuated by unfavorable market forces & headwinds and some real,outright blunders.
This is the analysis-based story of those complex strategy choices, decisions & moves made by leading turbofan engine OEMs of the era (since the dawn of the jet age) amid the heat of the raging battles and the myopic errors caused by the prevailing fog-of-war and their eventual outcomes & repercussions. The analysis also factors in the critical & pivotal role played by the prevailing market forces, macroeconomic trends and lastly chance which collectively proved to be the presiding, ultimate judges with their judgments & verdicts ultimately determining the fates as well as destinies of engine programs as well as the OEMs producing them.
It is also the story of path-breaking innovations, products & technologies, some of which, aided by the prevailing favorable market forces, disrupted the commercial aviation market fundamentally while carving a niche for themselves initially & ultimately going on to virtual market dominance. However, there were some others as well, which, despite of being disruptive, were way ahead of their time and were ultimately discarded by the market forces owing to being out of alignment with current market realities of the time only to re-emerge, reincarnated in an entirely new form now, to solve complex sustainability challenges and to shape a new, sustainable future for commercial aviation, chosen to be resurrected, ironically, by the very same market forces which had once sealed their fates...
Part 1 of the two-part book series analyzes the Aviation era starting with the Dawn of Jet Age to the End of Cold War while Part 2’s coverage ranges from the Onset of the Globalization Era to the Post-Pandemic Revenant.
Note: It is not a technical book and traces, analyzes & chronicles the evolutionary journey of aircraft engines in commercial aviation (since the dawn of the jet age) from the market side with the strategy perspective presented in a highly comprehensible, simple to understand language as well as manner.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
