Discussion
An engineer proposes reducing an engine's jet velocity until it equals the aircraft's flight velocity, arguing this will make the propulsion perfectly efficient.
What is wrong with the proposal?
Answer: C
Propulsive efficiency would indeed approach unity, but an efficiency of one applied to zero thrust is useless. The practical cycle settles on a jet velocity somewhat above flight speed, trading some efficiency for the thrust the aircraft actually needs.
