No fuel for jet liners

[Airspeed]

Bumped into a lady who is rather gullible when it comes to flat earth, chem trails etc.

"You'll be interested in this" said she.
"Jet liners run on compressed air. They try to tell us that the fuel is stored in the wings, but it takes 5 tankers to fill one aeroplane" ( if they don't use fuel, why do they need 5 tankers full? ), "You never see them putting the fuel into the wings, it's just impossible. The jet engines suck the air in and the turbines compress it, and that's what pushes the jet through the air. It's very interesting, you should read about it." were her last words.
See you later, Rosie" were mine.

Good logic there Mike. Did you check to see if she was an airline pilot? EricT

It would be great if they did. Just imagine, no carbon emissions as no fossil fuels are burned and therefore no vapour trails.
Aircraft would not require engine pods, just a hole in the erm, how do I put this - 'arse end' for thrust. I would fear for people living close to airports, as each take off could sound like some giant animal suffering from prolonged terminal flatulence . I don't even want to consider reverse thrust .

You'd need a compressor to compress the air. What fuel would drive it? Don't say compressed air!

Did you say "giant animal suffering from prolonged terminal flatulence"? Airbus already has one of those.
