While the commune has taken the name of Lasne, the administrative offices are in the village of Ohain.

* 1911 – Hans von Ohain, German / American aerospace engineer ( d. 1998 )

* Late 1930s – Hans von Ohain and Frank Whittle separately build pioneering gas turbine engines intended for aircraft propulsion, leading to the pioneering turbojet powered flights in 1939 Germany and 1941 England.

* 1936: Hans von Ohain and Max Hahn in Germany were developing their own patented engine design.

* 1991: Sir Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain for their independent development of the turbojet engine.

Frank Whittle an English inventor and RAF officer developed the concept of the jet engine in 1928, Hans von Ohain in Germany, a decade later developed the concept independently at the end of the 1930s.

The " turbojet ", was invented in the 1930s, independently by Frank Whittle and later Hans von Ohain.

This problem was one of the issues that led to early research into jet engines, notably by Frank Whittle in England and Hans von Ohain in Germany, who were led to their research specifically in order to avoid these problems in high-speed flight.

It was formed from the fusion of 5 communes: Couture-Saint-Germain, Lasne-Chapelle-Saint-Lambert, Maransart, Ohain and Plancenoit.

The church in Ohain was built around the year 1200 and the strongly built square tower dates from this time.

Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain ( 14 December 191113 March 1998 ) was a German engineer, one of the inventors of jet propulsion.

von Ohain independently developed the first jet engine during the same period that Frank Whittle was doing the same in the UK, and the two projects were often within weeks of meeting the same milestones.

" After receiving his degree in 1935, Ohain became the junior assistant of Robert Wichard Pohl, then director of the Physical Institute of the University.

In 1936, while working for Pohl, von Ohain earned a patent on his version of jet engines, Process and Apparatus for Producing Airstreams for Propelling Airplanes.

While working at the University, von Ohain often took his sports car to be serviced at a local garage, Bartles and Becker.

Von Ohain took the model to the University for testing but ran into serious problems with combustion stability.

Heinkel arranged a meeting between his engineers and von Ohain during which he argued that the current " garage engine " would never work but that the concept upon which it was based was sound.

The engineers were convinced and in April von Ohain and Hahn began working for Heinkel at the Marienehe airfield outside Rostock, in Warnemünde.

Encouraged by these findings, von Ohain produced a new prototype that would run on hydrogen gas supplied by an external pressurised source.

Von Ohain had at last, albeit 5 months after Whittle, run a self-contained turbojet.

Von Ohain had caught up with Whittle at last.

From now on, with vastly more funding and industry support, Von Ohain would soon overtake Whittle and forge ahead.

Hans von Ohain leads a toast after the successful flight of the Heinkel He 178.

In 1947 von Ohain was brought to the United States by Operation Paperclip and went to work for the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
