>  I used to be a jet engine mechanic in the AF.  We had water injection

>  bars in the inlet to provide the water.  It worked by making the air more
>  dense, giving better performance.  The trick is that it has to be sprayed in
>  small dropletts, not poured in.  Also had to use distilled water to prevent
>  build up of deposits which eventually reduce flow.  Worked very well in most
>  cases, especially on those very hot days on Guam with a full load.
