How would the jet work? Propeller plane is easy, just electric motors, but we’ve got no burning fuel to inject into a jet engine.
Just another engineering problem. Would be interesting if some reaction-less drive would come online

still even if not, then:
1) propellers,
2) turbines,
3) or just heating the air can be substituted as a reactive drive
