Good read. However, it is a little doom and gloom. Materials and combuster technology is greatly improved, with SFC approaching recip engines. This doesn't help idol fuel flow, but it does mitigate the problem. What they don't mention is the reliability the turbine offers, with fewer moving parts and minimal vibration through the drive train (no power pulses, just smooth continuous ponies)
