Just an interesting note about unconventional propulsion thinking ...a friend recently sent me a Popular Science article from 1933 on a steam powered airplane.
A 180lb steam engine developing 150 HP in 1933....I thought that was pretty impressive.
Its an excellent article with some good tech details....and oh yeh...the engine was said to be very quiet...spectators on the ground could hear the pilot say "hello as he flew past!
