    Everybody note that they also hide sales figures because they don't want to be known as rich in Mexico city.

    I find it really funny that it says that @RX2000 and @DolphinDude3 like this.  Sorry but as a vBulliten supporter, I must say that this is another reason not to like the current forum.  But it is nice to see who reped a post.

    Interesting idea. But like @Van Disaster noted, deep down, jet engines and rocket engines are essentially the same thing, apart from a few minor behavior and aesthetic details. 

    So if jet engines are to be broken into individual parts, wouldn't rockets need these respective parts as well?

    For example, to construct a jet, you need an intake, compressor/turbine, and a nozzle. To construct a rocket you need a turbopump, combustion chamber, and a nozzle. 

    I would certainly play around with this set up if it was available. However, I feel this would be better suited as a mod rather than stock, given the added complexity and the amount of parts that would have to be added.

    Well, for rockets, the combustion chamber, nozzle and other parts are specially built, whereas many aircraft (especially military) have diffrent shaped intakes and nozzles.  And, there is only four jets, giving us some serious restrictions on operation envelopes.
