However, for an idea to prosper, much more than just the motivation to innovate is needed, and that is precisely what happened to gas turbines when, during the 1950s and 1960s, many major automotive companies, and even the aerospace giant Boeing, sought to exploit their potential for the creation of maritime and, especially, land vehicles using this propulsion method. In today’s story, we will explore how the idea of using gas turbines transitioned from airplanes to the highways and fields of the United States. We will discover how, for several decades, there were everything from compact vehicles to massive heavy-duty trucks roaming the American coasts powered by engines weighing barely 100 kg, but most importantly, the circumstances that led to the realization that this idea truly belongs in the skies.
