All turbojet engines have difficulty with at low rpm at high altitude. The solution is for the fuel control to raise the minimum rpm allowed there.

@minera7595 "I'm no expert on plane design and might be very wrong, But I think it's possible that "Nose inlet" like the one in F-84 require some time to study and test, unlike the side inlet found in P-59 and P-80" Why would that be? Nose inlet was the original method and side intakes came later and are more complicated.

@minera7595 It didn’t come first just on the He 178. The Gloster porotype, the Meteor, the Me262, the Arado 234, and even the P-59 all had inlets that let the air flow in a nearly straight shot from the inlet lip to the compressor face. The P-80 is the only plane you mentioned that had side mounted intakes that required the air to flow a less than straight path. The P-80 intake was the newer development, and the F-84 did nothing that had not already been done with and air intake.

@minera7595 The inlet of the F-84 did not take years to test and presented no structural issues. Doesn't matter if it was the first one on a US made jet, because it was in no way unique. At this point you are just repeating yourself in trying to defend your original idle speculation, which still has no logic behind it. Okay then, believe what you will.
