Well, you've got this combustion chamber, and you add fuel, and
ignite it.

It's open on the front and the back.

Why doesn't the combustion product simply blow out the front and
the back both? Leaving you sitting on the runway exactly where
you started.

The buzz bomb solved this in the only sensible way. The vanes shut
and then you blow up the fuel. So the Germans saw the problem.
