The Pogo Plane, so-called because of its tail-down landing/take-off attitude, was the first significant air-breathing engine designed by Reed Richards. Employing new turbine blade configurations and a new titanium-alloy process, Richards increased overall engine performance to a very high weight-to-thrust ratio of 1:4,500.
