" Not necessarily. Even it would be more efficient (it is not), how would you like, as a pedestrian, to receive a full power jet of superheated air in your face when waiting for the greenlight at a pedestrian crossing? (and speaking about that jet of superheated air, this is your answer why a jet turbine is less efficient - you eject lots of energy with no use for it. Jet turbines trade the inefficiency for instant power, it takes time to consume the rest of that energy) | |
