Rockets and plane engines may work on different principles, I think there’s a lot more overlap than you’re imagining in the metallurgy, chemistry, engineering, and industrial infrastructure required to build high-performance vehicles with strong but light materials. I doubt everything had to happen in the exact order it did, but I find it hard to imagine that one technology could arise totally independent of the other.
There's nothing here!
