I wonder how many current engines could manage much more than that continuously for a few thousand hours.
A better perspective would be hp/kg since that and specific fuel consumption is all that really matters.

A one litre Fiesta gives that HP without two-stage, two-speed supercharging.
In a plane engine power/weight ratio is the important figure.
Fuel can be many times the weight of the engine. Everything must be considered in perspective.
For how long, and at what altitude?
You missed the point.
yes, but you do not. Do you realise you are seriously mentally ill?
I didnt write that, space cadet. Elon musk builds rockets
Neither of which are easy to change for many major airports.
Not a reliable way to do so.
But not at full power for several hours..
You really are more than ignorant of anything to do with aircraft aren't you?
No. You did. Space cadet
No, in a plane POWER TRAIN power to weight is the important featuree
Fuel weight is more than engines
More ignorance from the resident space cadet

No, you are being myopic through only being interested in engine displacement.
You missed the point.
But not a 20,000ft.
No, drag is the most important figure. You don't actually know anything do you?
Ah. Fictional then? I thought so.
Trains tend to have LSALT of 0ft above terrain
