Basis of comparison is engine factor (ratio of engine thrust to weight of propulsion system and payload); maximum speed, rate of climb, maximum altitude, and range determined for each engine as function of aircraft weight; curves show that rocket ramjet and turbojet are superior for high performance short range aircraft; for long range, engines with low specific fuel consumption, like turbofan, produce best overall aircraft.
