There is a moment that every engineer who works on jet engines knows well. It comes somewhere between the drawing board and the test stand, when the full weight of what they are attempting becomes clear. They are trying to build a machine that burns fuel at temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun - inside a device that spins faster than a bullet - that must also last for tens of thousands of hours without failure, weigh almost nothing, and cost something a commercial airline can actually afford.
