8. The Aircraft's Motion System.
It should be remembered that a Jet Powered Aircraft in flight is caused in physical REACTION to fly forward between two entirely differently constituted and different acting, Air Mass Motion Systems which together form the Aircraft's Motion System. The first of these is caused to accelerate through the Aircraft by it's engine the second comprising the atmosphere is caused to accelerate, around it.
In this instance we are not concerned with how in fact the thrust power is achieved by the Aircraft nor the acceleration of it's Air Mass Motion System which together comprise the Aircraft's Motion System but, with the effect of the motion action of one Air Mass Motion System upon another, as they jointly act and interact upon the Aircraft's Structure.
You will note in the foregoing that the author has not described the Jet Powered Aircraft as possessing a fully integrated Motion System Cycle, but, simply as a Motion System which of course, is true. As a direct consequence, the Motion/Propulsive Efficiency of even the very latest Jet Powered Aircraft compared with almost any other automotive vehicle one could care to name is extremely poor. The World's Jet Powered Aircraft Industry however will have you believe that the modern Fan Jet type of Aircraft has a Propulsive Efficiency exceeding 90% at the Aircraft's Cruise condition. Not only this, but it will also have you believe that Concorde's Propulsive Efficiency at it's supersonic cruise speed and altitude is also of this high order. But, were we to compare any Jet Powered Aircraft that ever was in motion efficiency terms with an ordinary car possessing a four speed gearbox we would find the Aircraft is required to take off in top gear, and therefore, from "brakes off" requires much more power than is actually necessary.
Until now, there has been no means of establishing a gearing in physics principle between, the Motion Interaction of two totally differently acting Air Mass Motion Systems and the Aircraft's structure. To seriously improve the Propulsive Efficiency of the Aircraft's entire Motion System which is what needs to be done, this can only be achieved by interposing an Air Mass Motion Gearing System between the two major Air Mass Motion Systems comprising the ACTION and REACTION halves of the Aircraft's Motion System and, the Aircraft's structure. The question of course is, how?
Note: It is the gearing of the interaction between the Air Mass Motion System of the Aircraft as it acts upon it's physical structure that is what is required and not that of the structure of the physical jet engine itself which does not physically form a part of the Aircraft's Motion System. The Air Mass caused to accelerate through it does but, not it's physical structure. We cannot gear motion via steel mounting bolts.
