Auto Credit Based on Yourlocalhuman's War challenge: World at war (CLOSED)
In 1934, physicist Kartan Acosta had an idea. Instead of the widely used propeller system, his design would suck in air through an "inlet" and heated with fuel. This "jet" of air would be then expelled out resulting in thrust. This design was theorized to give aircraft a massive edge in speed, but would limit agility. By 1935, Acosta's idea had been rejected by dozens of corporations, claiming it to be unproven at best, and impossible at worst. However, Wright Aviation had a different idea...
The design for the frame was finished relatively quickly, but there has been no breakthrough in how to make Acosta's "jet" engine work in a practical way.
