Jet engine components? Hardly future-oriented technology is it? Rocket science might sound cool, but the world has moved on and we're now focusing on a world free of fossil fuels.

Without an economically viable alternative, I expect jet engines are going to be around for decades to come. The fuel they use might become greener though, hopefully.

Jet propelled into the future where there's a growing market for faster Shahed drones. The fuel they use might just become greener though. Every bomb has a silver casing after all. The planet meanwhile, is about to remove humans from the gene pool due to their stupidity.

You can’t put the lid back on Pandora’s box. Any tech could, at some point, be used for war. In fact, many technical breakthroughs come from military r&d. I’m pretty confident the factory in London isn’t making jets for Shaheed drones though. I’m also confident that humans are stupid.
