Yep. Small turbine engines are not fuel efficient, and yet they are
expensive. The materials are exotic, and so are the methods that have to be
used to construct the engine.

The gains that have been made with small turbines are amazing enough to me,
but they still have not gone to where they need to be, to be practical.

That said, I still want one of those rigid skydiving wings, with the 4 pack
of model jet engines! What a rush that HAS to be!
