@MGB1977Red The jet engine was more than a revolution in power,the smoothness and ease of maintenance made aircraft that at one time had their service lives measured in hours and pushed them to years. So the cost may have been high at first,but overall they really lowered the cost of operation for air forces all over the world. Planes often outlasted many years of pilots!
The B-52 is 50 years on and still flying!

@MGB1977Red Computer aided manufacturing, advances in metallurgy and computerized engine control systems have allowed the progression to our current level of capability just as the cars of today have much more powerful engines running on much lower grades of fuels...
