Huh? That's like saying the top of a wheel or caterpillar track stops relative to the vehicle. In fact it moves forward at twice the speed of the vehicle relative to the ground. Don't give up your day job.

Dear Robert Clark:
Can you stop proposing spending great scads of time consuming oxygen and releassing ozone-destroying water vapor in/near our ozone layer, and leave the rest of us alone?
Rockets, catapults, or elevators are the ways to go.
David A. Smith
What? you mean common sense or forbid deductive logic and reasoning should be considered?

[snip crap]Christ's blood on a Saltine cracker. Direct shock waves to converge at the craft's rear into walls of an elongated afterburner. There ya go, stooopid - self-containment, no walls to melt, and lots of time to burn fuel at small local velocities without sacrificing the large ground velocity.
1) Look at the problem. 2) Think real hard. 3) Write down the answer.It's called "intelligence", and it works. Nothing works better no matter how many Diversity hires you have banging on typewriters (or "safely" stowed in management).
You might as well just have a long combustion chamber.

You might as well just have a long combustion chamber. ========================================== Hey Clark! Any idea what an afterburner IS?
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The point is having a long combustion chamber, long enough for combustion to complete, would make the engine impractically heavy.

Bob Clark =========================================== Funny how all those impractical afterburners are fitted to so many impractical aircraft but a j-tube wouldn't be impractically heavy (or even work). Don't give up your day job.
