TeeS,
Agreed, in flight you would be able to reduce pitch. I was thinking about the flat pitch, ie burning and turning with skids on the bottom of the box.
Bommber,
A gas turbine does not vapourise the fuel, it atomises it (converts it to a very fine spray). In fact as the temperture goes up the fuel temp increases and viscosity will go down and the engine driven fuel pump will have to work less hard...........
Bollox to this, off to get myself a life.
