after nearly 2 decades of work. Our scientests have develped a new engine. It works by sucking in air(as usaul) then it preasurizes it and adds small bits of natural gas. Then it is sucked into one of 7 tubes in the engine that get increasinly maller. The end point is only about 1 cm wide. Then the mixture is ignited. Air is constantly beingg driven in and creating mountains of thrust towrds one small point. This isn't all. Conecting to the tubes are smaller tubes that inject a mixture our scientests have been perfecting. The mixture is 2 parts argon, 4 parts liquid hydrogen and 3 parts natrual gas. The result is a highly powerful engine that can acheive a devistating 100,000 pounds of thrust. The argon mixture is injecting at the rate of 10 ml per a tube per a second. So the fuel eficantcy is 252 liters an hour. The naturla gas used to add to the air uses 100 liters per an hour. We are finishing up the plans to use a plane with this new engine. The engine is called the SOHTE
