Can you ask them for hard numbers on the thrust they measured, the
horsepower they inferred from it, and the engine weight?
If the HP/weight ratio is similar to aircraft engines designed from
scratch then we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. A much
higher weight efficiency would seem improbable though.
