Did you know that the engineer who first came up with the idea of a single engine four nozzle vertical take off engine was a Frenchman? His name is Michel Wibault. He took the idea to alot of places but nobody was interested until he ran into a US Colonel at NATO who passed it on to the British who then developed the Pegasus engine based on the idea.
