you are well aware mass flow based thrust is what we are discussing otherwise jets would be some sort of open air props w fuel thrown in god knows where. .Props produce horrible large radar returns. "Favorable balance" , (surely you jest) how about lazy aircraft designers who use proven cheap but inefficent designs. The Fury being bought by Lockheed from a hobby ship. The Killerbee from Swift Enginnering (not an aircraft conpany) by Raytheon and also Northrop. Just path of least resistance, least cost, least effort, desperate small shops.. etc. lazy. Give me a break.
