It's a disincentive to expand crop production if anything. Nev...

Hope they are not reaching for pie in the sky.

Keep the requirements realistic so the project does not spend years trying to achieve a bar set too high.

All hopes are being pinned on top level performance of the engine in the airframe with zero margin given to design constraints. A red flag surely.
