Why not use an oxidizer on jet engines, wouldn’t it provide better efficiency/power output?
In: Engineering
Because carrying thousands of liters of an oxidizer is worse than using the oxygen in the air which is already present and is easily usable in every conceivable way. Why would you make a plane larger and heavier (thus requiring even more fuel) just to carry something that’s already all around you and you can use? It’s like bringing a bathtub full of water with you to a pool. Why are you gonna lug all that water to the pool? The pool already has all the water in it.
