Although I can tell you he really didn't like my Martian idea back then. I don't know if he did reconsider this so I kinda took my chances with it.
As for jet engines, they are pretty much the only way you can get aircraft with steam working. Just by using steam turbines rather than gas turbines. The other alternative is internal combustion engines which of course don't exist here with blue coal so practical for steam. Describing my aircrafts to have jet engines is a bit misleading since it would draw the connotation I may try recreating late WW2 era jet aircraft. I don't.
<Snipped quote by Jotunn Draugr>Steampunk is sci-fi in the past and many classics which made steampunk were actually sci-fi during their age and also featured aliens at times. While aliens are a bit weird to even exist, I added it as a complication rather than an actual advantage. I could have Africans with Tripods and it wouldn't change much. But the mechanism how Martians interact is too much fun to miss.
As for jet engines, no. Actually given the mechanics of steam, turbine engines make far more sense to be developed sooner. Also jets were a thing by mid-WW1. It just took a while to develop them. But again we have mechs so arguing against jets seems arbitrary. Blue coal explicitly can replace gasoline engines here so building turbines either for jet propulsion or driving propellers like turboshafts is hardly out of reach.
no.
