1) Advisory: change the page structure. Current structure is for an overview page that should lead to different pages on different engines. It does not allow to write both extensively and coherently about any given engine type, how it works, etc.

2) Correction: Jet engines should be excluded from the page and brought into their own page. Having them here creates a problem of them being a very large and broad field, not even a category. Jet-atmospheric, jet-space, combustion-jet, plasma-jet, ion-jet, turbojet, etc - and those are broad categories themselves.

3) TODO: Basic constructions, modes of operation, basic work cycles should be written for every engine type. Steam engine should be a subcategory in the External Combustion Engines category (TBD, honestly, it is kinda tricky. Should find evidence of other gases used in ECEs or remove this point).

4) Thermodynamic cycles, thermodynamic cycle graphs should be implemented.
