Vaporware is always faster, cheaper, and less buggy. Call me when
someone actually builds one.

The concept of building an ultra high bypass engine, with lower pressure
ratios and slower intake speeds does make a heck of a lot of sense.

As it was said, for a switch from low and slow to low and fast. A jet that
is built to go faster than pistons, but low.

Asking the high running jet engines to run down in the lower altitudes is
like making a high compression turbocharged piston engine run without the
turbocharger running. Of course it is not going to run well, or
efficiently.

If I had a few million to put up, I would do it. It would be a revolution,
and one whose time should come.
