Forget the papers, if this thing writes grant applications...

But, it takes courage to imitate our witty ancestors! I've been sneered at by many reviewers for my attempts ("unscientific style"?!). The best I've managed to pass through so far is starting a paper with a quotation from an old Agatha Christie novel: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ast.2019.05.015 (free copy here: https://core.ac.uk/reader/237464116 or at your local Sci-hub domain).

- Look at the top of the last two stages of the "low-pressure compressor", you can see like some "phantom" blade airfoils? And yeah, no stators at all...
- The "high-pressure compressor" is even more bizarre: each stage seems to have a slightly different, random chord length, the first stages' airfoils have alternating pitch/curvature resembling rotor-stator stages but in the last ones they forget about this...
- In the turbine casing they have included some grooves that resemble cooling channels or labyrinth seals but the shapes seem random?
- The primary and secondary dilution air holes in the combustion chamber are huge, like those of small RC gas turbine? No fuel injectors at all?
This was exactly what I was going to suggest, it would be a great addition! And if someone from Overleaf is listening... ;)
Some time ago a HN user was approached by the CIA/FBI like this (they wanted help with a software he wrote). They told him to look up the public number for the agency and ask for agent whatever.
