Turbojet: decently efficient at going high subsonic to supersonic

Turbofan: more efficient at mid to high subsonic

Turboprop: more efficient at being slow

Afterburner: fuck fuel efficiency, we go fast now

The first issue of popular science I ever read had a cover story about scram jets.
3 decades later and I'm still waiting to see this shit in action.

Ramjets will become operational first. Scramjets would be the next step. Ideally, you would want an engine capable of switching between being a scramjet and a ramjet, but we need to learn to walk before we can run.
