Aircraft owners and pilots often bemoan the lack of new technology in aircraft engines and complain—accurately—that most airplane engines are basically 1960s tech.

- The lack of traction for newer engine technologies isn't due to a lack of innovation or development, but often stems from inadequate company support for these advancements.
