Big deal. So the kerosene lamp is the great grandfather of the Jet engine?
The aelipyle is the great-great grandfather of the jet engine.
Yeah right. If that’s the case then a burning stick is the ancestor of the nuclear warhead.
Whatever.
In terms of fuel yes. But diesel engines, especially super charged ones, bear a lot more resemblance to a jet engine than most would think. Both depend on compression-induced combustion of the same basic fuel...one just uses reciprocating pistons, the other doesn’t. Somebody else’s technical description is above for your enlightenment.
