Of course both will have some inefficiency, which means that using the jet to push the car against the wall will ALWAYS be less efficient than either option alone. | |

| Nov 17, 2021 at 12:47 | comment | added | Steeven | Welcome to the Physics SE site, Neto, your question has been migrated to here. To me it sounds like you don't need a wall - with a jet turbine providing a downwards thrust, then aren't we simply talking about the car flying? Sure, if the jet turbine is angled so that it presses the car wheels against the vertical wall, then you might achieve some traction and can acceleration with the use of engine force. But it might not be feasable to spend jet fuel in order to reach traction and then to spend engine fuel to accelerate, rather than to simply spend jet fuel to fly upwards in the first place | |
