Future for air-breathing aircraft engine is examined by comparing turboprop, turbofan, turbojet, ramjet and afterburning versions to rocket engine; it is concluded that air-breathing engine, because of its superior fuel consumption, will continue as optimum power plant for cruising vehicles; for accelerating trajectories, it is penalized by its poor specific weight characteristics and low speed limit; developments that would make it competitive.
