May have had more to do with air density. Heavier the air bigger the bang. That's what makes turbo's work. Pack the cylinder with lots of air to get a bigger boom. Now on a turbine, I have no idea but I guess physics is physics so I guess heavy air works for them too.
This is the reason engines (internal at least) have a hard time at higher altitude, thin air....not very dense, makes for a "light" boom when it goes off. Turbo's pack in the light air and mitigate some of the shortfalls. That's why some guys love them for their tractors. Personally I don't want one. Had one on an 800 cu in Cummins 400 hp big cam and one was enough for me.
On the B-47 comment from the other guy (can't see his post right here), as I recall they had black smoke too on take off. They also used Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) bottles to get up from short fields. Really a beautiful, graceful bird. Have one in my model collection. Really enjoyed the SAC B-47 movie with Gen. Jimmy Stewart and June Allison. Some beautiful pictures of these babies in the sky.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
