WHY
?
| V-Jet is a marketing
name which was introduced by Qantas at the time the Boeing 707-138
aircraft were converted from turbojet engines to more powerful and
more efficient turbofans. The "V" stands for the Latin word "vannus" which translates literally as "winnowing basket" or more loosely, "a device for blowing the grain" or "a fan". Hence V-Jet denotes Fan Jet. |
