Jet Engine Design Gets Dangerous

I’ve always wanted to say “I’m committing a war crime” and to some extent have this be true.  Obviously without actually hurting anyone.  So how close can I get?

Part of the jet engine design obviously involves some fuel, fire, that which I desire.  Ahem.  I mean pressure.  So instead of a standard fuel pump for the combustion chamber of the jet engine, I’ve decided to incorporate some gas pressure just so I can segway into the realm of flamethrowers.  A banned article according to the Geneva Convention.

Obviously, if all goes well, no one actually gets burnt.  But it’s still a bit of fun.  I’m aiming to fill one container with propellant for the jet and another with a compressed gas to deliver the pressure which a fuel pump would normally manage.  Somewhere along the way, I’ll have an injector and fuel pump assembly that mimics the good ol’ US issue flamethrower of WWII infamy.
