English: The Coandă-1910 was the first jet-propelled aircraft ever built. It was constructed by Romanian inventor Henri Coandă and exhibited by him at the Second International Aeronautical Exhibition in Paris around October 1910. Unfortunately during a ground test of the engine on December 16, 1910, Coandă was caught unaware by the power of the engine and found himself briefly airborne. He lost control of the machine, and it crashed, burning, to the ground. Coandă was thrown clear of the crash.
Română: Primul avion cu reacţie din lume, Coandă 1910. Imaginea este luată la a douea Expoziţie internaţională aviatică de la Grand Palais, Champs-Élysées, Paris, Franţa, în octombrie 1910.
