Re: possibly stupid physics / engineering question

Having a Physics background I won't slate you as others have. For a poster who doesn't know anything about Physics, it shows an inquisitive mind at work.

The main issue is that jet engines are already efficient once in flight but you still need energy to power a compressor on the front end unless we are talking Ramjet engines which normally only operate at supersonic speeds.

Keep at it though and remember there are hundreds of inventions made by people who knew little about the subjects concerned.
