Propeller-driven aircraft drop sharply in efficiency at high fractions of the speed of sound. For sustained high-speed flight, a different propulsion system is needed - the jet engine. Trace the history of jets and their super-efficient variant used on commercial airliners - the high-bypass turbofan, a machine so intricate and beautiful that a piece of one is on display at the Museum of Modern Art.
