Although the engine demonstrated an extremely low specific fuel consumption, cabin noise levels were a problem, even though the engines were mounted at the rear of the test aircraft.

An old man at a car lot once told me:

"When I was a young man, I had to hold it down to keep from pissing in my face. Now that I'm an old man, I have to hold it up to keep from pissing in my shoe."

He shoulda tried this when he was a young man.
