Re: Jet engines on Mars

Hello,

Since I read Red Mars back in 1997, I wondered if it was even possible for jet-powered aircraft to fly on Mars. I remember that the colonists in the novel used jet airminers to refine gases from the atmosphere. But, since the Martian atmosphere has only a 1/1000th of the air pressure of Earth at sea level, can a jet grab enough air to generate the needed thrust?

Cordially,

EarthWolf
