Could large non-turbine aircraft be much more fuel efficient than current jet / turboprop transports?
large non-turbine (prop) aircraft common during wwii , short time after. advances in materials , design make non-turbine transport aircraft practical?
understand there lot of consumer resistance, , practical factors ( lower speed being 1 ) might prevent it, curious how fuel saved designed non-turbine transport aircraft?
efficency tradeoffs payload, speed, size limits, maintenance ?
these tradeoffs ever make sense if fuel prices rocketed?
